Though it can lessen your GERD it will have a paradoxical impact on your hemorrhoids if u do weight lifting exercises. I would see best exercise for u is cardio exercise like walking, jogging and swimming- that increase your circulation. Standing and sitting exercises will put strain on the veins in your rectum and can make hemorrhoids worse.  Or else u have to practice breathing exercises that put less pressure on your rectal veins...
