What's with the hiccups?

Burping is a common physiological phenomenon. Hiccup is caused by spasm and contraction of diaphragm. In fact, the diaphragm is not a membrane that separates the chest from the abdominal cavity, but a big muscle. Every time we contract smoothly, our lungs will take a breath; Because it is controlled by the respiratory center of the brain, the muscles of the diaphragm will move regularly, and our breathing can operate completely independently, without having to remember how to breathe all the time. When burping, the diaphragm contracts involuntarily, air is quickly sucked into the lungs, and the gap between the two vocal cords suddenly narrows, thus making strange sounds. We don't know why the diaphragm contracts uncontrollably. Although most burps are short-lived, some people will burp continuously. The following situations are easy to burp: First, if you drink too much and fill your stomach, it will dilute the digestive juice. The lower the concentration of digestive juice, the worse the hiccups. So, don't drink too much, even if it is a necessary drink for computer people. 2. When you have a headache with drugs that are easy to bubble, such as aspirin, have you ever taken "bubble pills" to treat your headache? Some tablets, such as aspirin, release carbonic acid gas when dissolved in water. This carbonic acid gas can cause hiccups. Suggestion: Take gel while taking aspirin and other foaming drugs. It can break large carbonated bubbles into small bubbles, which are easily absorbed by blood and burst rapidly in the stomach. Third, compressed gas rushes out of champagne bottles or coke cans from the digestive system with the same force. These things will fill the digestive system with excessive air, which will lead to hiccups. Fourth, anxiety is there anything that makes you anxious? When you are in a state of great mental stress, your body's demand for oxygen will increase. In this way, it will mechanically suck in a lot of air with its mouth like a fish, causing hiccups. 5. Hot coffee or hot tea Scientists at the University of Salt Lake City in the United States have proved that the steam of hot coffee or hot tea will be sucked into the body with a lot of air, and in order to make hot things cool quickly, you will blow air, which will also suck a lot of air into the body. So wait until the hot coffee or tea is a little cooler. Sixth, eating too fast, often burping after eating in fast food restaurants. When you eat in a hurry, you will inhale a lot of air. So don't destroy the food on the plate at once, eat it bit by bit and chew it slowly. Talking too much at dinner can also burp, so it's best to be quiet at dinner. If you burp, you can try to hold your breath and swallow the food when you think the next burp is coming. Do this 2 ~ 3 times, then take a deep breath and repeat the above actions. Eight, some diseases will give off a bad smell when snoring? When burping, there is a grunt in the stomach, and sometimes it smells when burping. If the smell is sour, it means that the stomach acid is too strong; If it is bitter, it means that bile has increased sharply; If you smell rotten eggs, it is related to hydrogen sulfide, and food paste will form hydrogen sulfide if it stays in the stomach for a long time. At this time, I need to see a doctor, because such hiccups are related to stomach diseases, intestinal diseases, liver diseases, gallbladder and other diseases. Emergency treatment of hiccups at home: (1) Try to hold your breath and sometimes don't burp. (2) Let burpers drink a small amount of water, especially when burping. (3) Distract attention and eliminate tension and bad stimulation. (4) Eat without talking. When eating, you'd better eat quietly to avoid hiccups. But for people who burp, you can try to hold your breath and swallow the food when you think the next burp is coming. Do this 2 ~ 3 times, then take a deep breath and repeat the above actions. (5) Press Shaoshang point. When burping, press Shaoshang point (the distal radius of thumb, 0. 1 inch away from nail angle) with your thumb to make the pain last for half a minute, and then you can stop burping. (6) Sneeze, don't burp. If you try to sneeze, you can stop burping. You can sneeze by smelling pepper with your nose. If hiccups are difficult to stop, if there is no special discomfort, you can let nature take its course and generally stop later. If you burp continuously for a long time, please consult a doctor.
