Hiccups and belching can be caused by functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease and so on.
1. Functional dyspepsia: unhealthy eating habits such as frequent overeating, eating a lot of cold and spicy stimulating food and other conditions lead to gastrointestinal peristalsis is weakened, the food is stagnant in the stomach, stimulating the diaphragm to contract and drive the vocal cords to close quickly, so it will burp, belching.
2. Chronic gastritis: most of them are related to Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic inflammatory lesions of the gastric mucosa, mucosal congestion and edema, decreased secretion of the glands leading to dyspepsia, food spoilage produces gas to stimulate the diaphragm to contract, the gas rises to stimulate the pharynx and the hiccups, belching symptoms.
3. Gastroesophageal reflux: when the lower esophageal sphincter dysfunction, esophageal mucosa clearing function is reduced, gastric acid is easy to reflux through the esophagus, stimulate the pharynx and stimulate the diaphragm contraction and hiccups, belching.
Hiccups and belching may be related to a variety of factors, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis.
