Anxiety belching

Anxiety disorder is a mental problem that many people have. If anxiety disorder occurs, in addition to bringing certain mental effects to patients, many anxiety disorder patients will also experience belching, that is, hiccups. In this case, in addition to taking certain measures to relieve the symptoms of hiccups, anxiety disorders also need to be treated! Next, I will introduce to you some treatment methods for anxiety disorders!

1. Benzodiazepines (also known as tranquilizers)

①Advantages

It works quickly, usually within 30 to 60 minutes; it has a definite anti-anxiety effect; and it is relatively cheap.

② Disadvantages

The effect lasts for a short time and is not suitable for long-term and large-scale use; it may cause dependence. Commonly used drugs: lorazepam, alprazolam, 2 to 3 times a day. It is a short- to medium-acting tranquilizer drug with good anti-anxiety effect, relatively weak sedative effect, and little impact on daytime work. Principles of use: intermittent medication principle, temporary oral administration when anxiety is severe, not suitable for long-term and large-scale use; small dose principle, if a small dose works, there is no need for a large dose; regular medication change principle, if the condition requires long-term use, replace it with another tranquilizer every 3 to 4 weeks, which can effectively avoid the occurrence of dependence; when changing medication, slowly reduce the original medication and slowly increase the new medication. If the patient is older, the dosage is not large, and the therapeutic effect is good, there is no need to change the medication. As long as the dosage of tranquilizers does not increase, is within the normal range, and the therapeutic effect does not weaken, it can be considered that dependence has not occurred.

2. Antidepressants

Because the cause of anxiety can cause disorders in the body's neuro-endocrine system and imbalance of neurotransmitters, and antidepressants can make the imbalanced neurotransmitters return to normal, so that the anxiety symptoms disappear and the mood returns to normal. ① Generalized anxiety disorder: Commonly used treatment drugs are paroxetine, escitalopram, venlafaxine, flupentixol-melitracen, etc. ② Panic attacks: Commonly used treatment drugs are paroxetine, escitalopram, clomipramine, etc.

3. Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy refers to the use of verbal or non-verbal communication by clinical physicians to establish a good doctor-patient relationship, apply professional knowledge in psychology and medicine, and guide and help patients change their behavioral habits, cognitive coping methods, etc. Drug treatment is a temporary solution, while psychotherapy is a permanent solution. Both are indispensable.

There are also psychotherapy such as biofeedback therapy, relaxation therapy, etc. suitable for patients with anxiety disorders.
