Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
Yes, it is very safe to take Movicol in the presence of these above mentioned conditions i.e. sliding hiatus hernia, presence of heart stents, high blood pressure and fibromyalgia.
Movicol contains macrogol ( polyethylene glycol), it is a osmotic laxative. It is an over the counter medication. So, do not worry.
I warn about abusing these laxatives, which in turn cause problems. Hence you should be judgemental in using it, if unable to decide, approach a local physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
