What is the reason for chest tightness, long breath and hiccups

Because chest tightness often manifests itself as difficulty breathing, some people choose to increase their breathing to relieve the physical discomfort when they feel chest tightness. However, some people find that when they feel chest tightness, they not only have to breathe heavily, but also have burping. But many people don’t know what causes this phenomenon? Next, let me introduce it to you.

1. What is the cause of chest tightness, shortness of breath and hiccups?

1. Long outgoing breath is generally seen in chest tightness and shortness of breath. Hiccups are mostly caused by excessive stomach acid. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination and targeted treatment. You can take oral Liqi Shuxin tablets for treatment and pay attention to rest.

2. This should be a stomach problem, which is caused by food and qi stagnation, liver depression and qi stagnation, stomach failure to descend, and turbid qi blocking the collaterals. It can be treated with drugs that soothe the liver and regulate qi, and relieve gas and stomach problems. Eat small meals frequently, eat a light diet, and exercise moderately.

2. What situations are prone to hiccups?

1. Drinking too much

If you drink a lot of beverages and fill your stomach, it will dilute the digestive juices. The lower the concentration of the digestive juices, the more severe the hiccups will be. 2. Taking drugs that are prone to bubbling, such as aspirin

Some pills, such as aspirin, produce carbonic acid gas when dissolved in water. This carbonic acid gas can cause burping.

3. Aerated drinks

The compressed gas from a champagne bottle or a Coke can comes out of the digestive system with the same force. These things fill the digestive system with excess air, which causes burping.

4. Anxiety

When you are under great mental stress, your body's demand for oxygen increases. As a result, you will mechanically suck in a lot of air through your mouth like a fish, causing hiccups.

5. Hot coffee or hot tea

The steam from hot coffee or tea is drawn into the body along with a lot of air, and in order to cool something hot quickly, you blow, which also draws a lot of air into the body. So wait until your hot coffee or tea cools down a bit before drinking it.

6. Eating too fast

Burping is common after eating at a fast food restaurant. When you eat in a hurry, you take in a lot of air. So don't finish the food on the plate all at once. Eat it in small pieces and chew it slowly.

7. Talking too much while eating can also cause hiccups

It is best to be quiet while eating. If you are already hiccuping, hold your breath as long as possible and swallow the food when you feel the next burp coming. Do this 2 to 3 times, then take a deep breath and repeat the above steps.

8 Certain diseases

Along with hiccups, the stomach makes gurgling sounds, and sometimes an odor is emitted. If the odor is sour, it indicates that the stomach acid is too strong; if it is bitter, it indicates a sharp increase in bile; if it smells rotten (rotten eggs), it is related to hydrogen sulfide, and food paste is retained in the stomach for a long time to form hydrogen sulfide. At this time, you should seek medical treatment from a doctor, because such hiccups are related to stomach, intestinal, liver, gallbladder and other diseases.
