Whenever you drink alcohol, hiccups are generally considered to be induced by damage to the gastric mucosa, diaphragmatic spasms and flatulence.
1. Damaged gastric mucosa: Drinking too much alcohol will cause ethanol to be converted into acetaldehyde, resulting in damage to the gastric mucosa, causing gastrointestinal reflux, inducing excessive gastric acid, resulting in acid reflux and heartburn, accompanied by hiccups.
2. Diaphragmatic spasm: drinking a lot of alcohol can cause an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which may cause diaphragmatic spasm, and then may cause hiccups and other clinical symptoms.
3. Flatulence: Heavy drinking also causes increased peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract, leading to massive flatulence, which can also induce hiccups.
It is recommended that patients continue to observe, if other uncomfortable symptoms occur, you need to go to the regular hospital as soon as possible to receive examination, according to the results of the examination treatment.
