Subject:  reflux, overweight and hiatus hernia


I would like to know what the connection between weight loss and relief of
reflux actually is - why does weight loss tend to relieve the symptoms?
Also, I wonder if there have ever been any studies on operatic singing and
hiatus hernia. Does anyone believe that the pressure of breathing might
provoke a hiatus hernia? If that were so it is a bit worrying......
