I burp at night

Hiccups are caused by excessive gas in our stomach. If the gas cannot be discharged from the body in time, we will feel uncomfortable with bloating. There are two ways to discharge gas. One is to fart, and the other is to hiccup. No matter which method is used, it will make us feel uncomfortable. But if it is not discharged, it will be more uncomfortable. So why do we hiccup at night?

It may be because you ate too much greasy food at night or you were too full. Hiccups are actually caused by cholecystitis. There is a reason for this. Poor gallbladder function can lead to reduced bile metabolism. As the amount of bile decreases, the time food stays in the stomach and intestines will slow down. As a result, food stays in the stomach for too long, and gastric acid secretion increases compared to before, causing bloating that is difficult to get rid of.

As the saying goes, if you can't get it down from below and you can't get it down from above, hiccups are inevitable. As for the constant hiccups before going to bed at night, it may be because the food you eat at night is greasy or you are too full. If you have a bad gallbladder, you can pick some bitter herbs from the tree at an appropriate time to make soup, and add a little brown sugar to remove the bitterness so that it won't taste bitter. Eat less raw, cold and greasy food, especially try not to stay up late at night. This is especially important.

Hiccups are the burping of air from the stomach, which causes frequent, rapid, and short sounds in the throat. It is a common physiological phenomenon caused by spasm and contraction of the diaphragm. Healthy people may also experience transient hiccups, which are often related to diet, especially eating too fast, overeating, consuming very hot or cold food or drinks, drinking alcohol, etc. Changes in external temperature and excessive smoking can also cause hiccups. Hiccups that occur frequently or last for more than 24 hours are called refractory hiccups, which often occur in certain diseases.

Hiccups are caused by the contraction movement of the diaphragm spasm. When you inhale, the glottis suddenly closes, making a short sound. It can occur on one side or both sides of the diaphragm. Normal and healthy people may experience hiccups due to swallowing too quickly, swallowing air suddenly, or a sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Most of them can disappear on their own. Some hiccups can last for a long time and become persistent hiccups.

During an attack, chest X-ray can determine whether the diaphragm spasm is unilateral or bilateral. If necessary, a chest CT scan can be performed to rule out diseases that stimulate the phrenic nerve, and an electrocardiogram can be performed to determine whether there is pericarditis and myocardial infarction. When central nervous system disease is suspected, head CT, MRI, EEG and other examinations can be performed.

When digestive system lesions are suspected, abdominal X-ray examination, B-mode ultrasound, gastrointestinal angiography, abdominal CT and hepatopancreatic function test are performed if necessary. Clinical biochemical examination can be performed to rule out poisoning and metabolic diseases.
