Question 4

i am on trt and have been prescribed nandrolone for my joints. i have been experiencing excessive burping and hiccuping. ive had many different different gi tests done. everything is normal. is it possible one of those compounds are causing this?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Nandrolone  has been known to cause gastrointestinal side effects and liver problems even though it's administered by injection. Is your nandrolone prescribed in addition to other testosterone replacement therapy? If so, it's quite similar to testosterone and perhaps you're not tolerating both compounds given simultaneously. Discuss this with your MD.Your pharmacist can give you more information.

Question 5

if all the test have been done to rule out any problems would it be fair to compare benign heart palpitations to a eye/muscle twitch or a hiccup maybe? cardio said he didn't think they were anything "physiological' whatever that means

Accepted Answer

Maybe: To the extent that those conditions are not voluntarily under your control and pose no significant risk, and presuming that your medical doctor has concluded that they pose no risk, then I do think that is a fair comparison.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 7

Accepted Answer

: Something is irritation diaphragm. Check this out,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccup

Question 8

why can't i stop hiccuping?

Accepted Answer

Find cause: Continuous hiccuping can be due to anything from disease irritating the diaphragm to a medication side effect to a goiter pressing on the phrenic nerve to neurologic disease. I am going to assume you are not an uncontrolled diabetic or in kidney failure. A physician's office visit is in order.

Question 9

what causes hiccups?

Accepted Answer

Diaphragm : Irritation of the diaphragm causes hiccups. Usually due to swallowed air, but it can be a sign of a more serious problem and should be seen if it persists.

Question 10

hiccup for 3 weekes?

Accepted Answer

Hiccups: Hiccups for three weeks are not good. You already gave one reason of  overeating. Cut down on your eating. Chew properly. No carbonated drinks,  alcohol, or spicy foods. You have to see your doctor to evaluate your diaphragm and nerve, and medication to stop them.
