Patients with reflux esophagitis often experience hiccups, mostly associated with diaphragmatic spasm and gas reflux, and need to be treated with medication for the primary cause, along with daily care to relieve hiccup symptoms. Common causes 1. Diaphragmatic spasm: As the patient’s stomach acid, bile and pancreatic juice reflux into the esophagus during an attack of the disease, it may stimulate the esophagus and cause diaphragmatic spasm, leading to hiccups. 2. Weak anti-reflux barrier: Residual gas in the stomach, along with the upward reflux of stomach acid, bile and other gastric contents, weakens the anti-reflux barrier of the gastroesophagus, triggering hiccups. Treatment Hiccups caused by reflux esophagitis are usually hiccups caused by acid reflux stimulating the esophagus. You can use increased acid suppressants such as omeprazole, gastrodynamic drugs such as Mosapride, and drugs that protect the gastric mucosa such as aluminum thioglycollate to relieve hiccups, and pay attention to drinking more water, which can also relieve hiccups, or holding your breath, which can also relieve hiccups. If the hiccups are not relieved, you can also apply acupuncture or moxibustion therapy to be able to get relief from the symptoms. Precautions 1, dietary care: First of all, you should eat less gas-producing foods, such as soybeans, radishes, potatoes, etc. In addition, we should pay attention to the protection of the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, quit smoking and limit alcohol, drink less carbonated beverages and coffee, reduce the intake of fried food, spicy and stimulating food, to a light diet; 2, life care: do not wear tight clothing and pants. Elevate the bed 15cm during sleep, do not eat 6 hours before bedtime, and reduce weight for obese patients, which can reduce intra-abdominal pressure and reflux. Avoid weight holding, bending and other movements.
