I see that weight training is not good for hiatus hernias. I had no problem running this. Will I rest from weight training and shredding and see if it's that, or any helpful suggestions. I don't want my running to suffer.

Try not to over stretch but some gentle massage of the area is also good if its not too painful. (from someone recovering from a fractured rib which is a similar care pattern only longer and stronger - hope it gets better soon and if it starts to hurt to breathe deeply then get it checked out at the docs!)
