Could my Diastastis Recti Contribute to a Hiatal Hernia?

RJ83
Pregnancy was very rough on my body. I have pretty severe diastastis recti, back problems and an umbilical hernia from pregnancy. I also have been struggling with other symptoms like asthma and sinusitis which could be from acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. I'm wondering if the diastastis recti and hiatal hernia could be related? Would insurance pay for a muscle repair if there is a coorelation?
