Question 2

why do i get hiccups all the time? i get hiccups all the time and i don't really drink pop which i heard is the common reasons for hiccuping.

Accepted Answer

The : The most common reasons for short-term hiccups are:
- eating too much
- drinking carbonated drinks such as soda
- drinking too much alcohol
- anxiety and stress
- sudden temperature changes

a few remedies you can try are breathing into a paper bag, sipping or gargling ice water, and holding your breath.

If your hiccups are lasting more than 48 hours (which is fairly uncommon) you should see a doctor because they could be caused by:
- damage to the phrenic or vagus nerves (the nerves that control the diaphragm and control hiccups)
- central nervous system disorder such as stroke, meningitis, or traumatic brain injury
- drugs or metabolic disorders such as barbituates, diabetes, or kidney failure.

Question 3

i've gastritis and every time i eat it "gets stuck" having a drink does not help and it always ends up in hiccups.? is this the gastritis?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: It is unlikely to be gastritis.  Could be esophageal spasm or achalasia or possibly a shatzki's ring/stricture.  You probably need to have an endoscopy if you have not had one already to full evaluation or a barium swallow xray to evaluate your esophagus.

Question 5

every time i swallow something of hot temperature, spicy or fizzy drink i get really bad hiccups lasting approx10mins. i also would get mild heartburn sometimes nausea and pain l side&globulus.ogd was normal.why is this?

Accepted Answer

: Apparently,in your case, certain foods,spices or types of beverages can stimulate nerves in the diaphragm causing hiccups. Chili peppers are a common cause of hiccups actually.  I guess you'll have to identify &amp; avoid triggers of your symptoms. I'm unsure of any meds that will prevent your hiccups if you eat or drink triggering foods or beverages. Your gastroenterologist may have experience with t

Question 6

trouble swallowing+pain at times,chest pain,shortness of breath,feeling of food stuck,hiccups after eating/drinking,acid reflux.could it be cancer?

Accepted Answer

Could be: While it could be, it's not likely. What is certain is that you need a test called EGD - you need to see a gastroenterologist for this. You sound like you have a stricture that would benefit from being dilated.

Question 7

why do i get hiccups so often when i drink?

Accepted Answer

Hicupps: Hicupps, are caused by sudden contractions of the diaphragm, which results from irritation of the nerve that controls that muscle function.This nerve runs close to the esophagus(food pipe), you propably get the hiccups when you drink cold liquids, at a fast pace.Another cause can be seen in people who has gastric reflux, or hiatal hernia.

Question 8

i have the hiccups when i drink a lot, how do i make them stop?

Accepted Answer

Don't drink a lot: Not to sound like a wise-guy here, but the obvious solution and the safest way is to don't drink a lot. Alcohol is a part of life and it is accepted in every society in moderation. But when using it to excess, it can cause much trouble for the person and his/her family/friends, and a potential danger to others (driving drunk). So, drink responsibly. Be safe, be well, be alive. Good luck.

Question 9

how come i get hiccups if i drink something when i'm stressed?

Accepted Answer

Air swallowing: It is likely that you're swallowing air when you are stressed. I would recommend that you see a psychologist to help you deal with your stress level. Drinking through a straw instead of gulping by drinking through a normal glass may help.

Question 10

why do i have hiccups after i drink alcohol?

Accepted Answer

Hiccups: Alcohol, specially hard liqueur it is an irritating agent.It irritates your stomach, esophagus. The nerves that makes you hiccup are very close to the esophagus, so irritating the esophagus irritates these nerves which make your diaphragm muscle contract causing a hiccup.
