What causes constant hiccups

We must have encountered sudden hiccups in our lives. Sometimes the hiccups will not last too long and will only last for a few minutes. Sometimes the hiccups cannot be stopped. If this happens in a public place with a lot of people, it will make people feel very uncomfortable and embarrassed. Now let’s talk about the causes of hiccups and how to quickly solve the problem of hiccups.

The reasons for hiccups:

1. The most common reason is eating too much, which will cause stomach discomfort, and eating too fast will also cause hiccups.

2. Irregular diet and catching a cold after a meal are also causes of hiccups. This is caused by diseases of the diaphragm and stomach and gastric neurosis.

3. We don’t have any big problems ourselves, but we often encounter the problem that we eat too fast, or we eat some irritating food at once, or we eat too much and swallow too much gas.

4. Being too nervous Some people will hiccup when they are nervous, such as before taking an exam or a competition. This is because when the emotions are too nervous, the body will feel short of oxygen, and will involuntarily open the mouth to inhale air, causing hiccups.

5. Disease causes Some diseases can also cause hiccups. The most common ones are gastrointestinal diseases. For example, chronic gastritis, reflux esophagitis and other diseases can cause frequent hiccups. If you hiccup frequently and can't find any other reasons, it is recommended that you seek medical treatment in time.

6. Food factors: Some carbohydrate drinks and vegetables that are easy to produce gas can also cause hiccups. These are hiccups caused by compressed gas coming out of our digestive system. For example, Sprite, Coke, broccoli, etc. If you burp often, you should consider eating less of these foods.

Ways to relieve hiccups:

1. Use massage to eliminate hiccups. Press the Neiguan acupoint with your thumb for 1-3 minutes, and the symptoms of hiccups will be relieved.

2. Drinking water and bending over exercise can also effectively solve hiccups. When you have hiccups, immediately pour a glass of water, drink it in big gulps, swallow it slowly, and at the same time bend over and move around. It will be gone in a few minutes.

3. Taking a few deep breaths can also help you stop hiccups. This often happens when you are eating. If you suddenly stop hiccuping, you can take a few deep breaths and you may find that the hiccups are gone.

4. Eat sugar to stop hiccups. When you hiccup, quickly take a large spoonful of sugar and put it under your tongue. Sugar can stimulate saliva secretion and improve the nervous system. The hiccups will stop after a few minutes.

5. The nerve stimulation method, also called the back patting method. Sometimes when we see someone choking while eating, someone pats him on the back. This method is also suitable for hiccups. Suddenly patting the back of the hiccuper can stimulate the nerves, inhibit the diaphragm spasm, and stop the hiccups.
