Accepted Answer

The : The most common cause of long term hiccups is damage or irritation of the vagus or phrenic nerves, which control the muscles of the diaphragm. The other cause could be damage to the central nervous system (i.e. Traumatic brain injury, stroke) which can disrupt your body's normal control of the hiccup reflex. Yes, the fall could have triggered nerve damage in each of these systems.
Since the hiccups can be a result of a traumatic brain injury, it is crucial this man sees his doctor. It is also worth exploring why he lost his balance in the first place.

Question 2

what should my grandmother do to lower her blood pressure? my grandmother has high blood pressure. she currently takes the following medications for it:
losartan potassium 100mg once a day
coreg cr 40mg and 20mg (60mg total) once a day
clonidine

Accepted Answer

By : By the date of this post almost a week has passed. I will assume that your grandmother has seen or spoken with her doctor. If not she must do so immediately. For the future, if her BP rises that high, along with having symptoms (in her case she had severe headache and nausea). This is reason to take her to the urgent care or at least give a call in to her doctor for instruction. It sounds like your grandmother needs a change in her treatment plan in order to lower her bp.
All the best.
