What to do if you have hiccups and acid reflux and can’t go to the bathroom

Hiccups and acid reflux without going to the toilet may be due to indigestion, reflux esophagitis, intestinal obstruction, etc., which can be treated by dietary modification, acid suppressant, gastric stimulant medication, as well as enemas, gastrointestinal decompression or surgical treatment.
1. Dietary regulation: regular light diet, chewing and swallowing slowly, avoiding overeating, uneven hunger and satiety, eating fluids and semi-fluids as the main, small meals, each meal six or seven minutes full. Eat more fresh fruits to supplement the vitamin and fiber content of food to soften the stool. Try not to drink strong tea, coffee and quit smoking and alcohol, avoid cold, greasy, spicy and stimulating food.
2. Medication:
(1) Indigestion: due to improper diet, symptoms such as burping, acid reflux and constipation may occur. Prokinetic agents such as domperidone and etopride can be used to promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, and digestive enzymes such as compound digestive enzymes can be used to assist digestion.
(2) Reflux esophagitis: When reflux esophagitis strikes, symptoms such as hiccups, acid reflux, and inability to go to the toilet may occur. Acid suppressants such as omeprazole and rabeprazole can be used to inhibit the secretion of gastric acid, thus reducing the symptoms of hiccups and acid reflux. Gastric stimulants such as mosapride can also be used to relieve the discomfort.
(3) Intestinal obstruction: When suffering from intestinal obstruction, it may lead to abnormal bowel movement and defecation functions, and symptoms of hiccups and acid reflux. Treatments such as soap and water enemas, gastrointestinal decompression with a nasogastric tube or surgery may be used.
There may be other reasons for hiccups and acid reflux without going to the toilet. If you experience any of the above symptoms, it is recommended that you go to the hospital in time for early and regular treatment. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
