Hiccups in patients with cerebral infarction

Hiccups, also known as hiccups, in patients with cerebral infarction may be caused by brainstem infarction, increased intracranial pressure, gastric flatulence, etc., and the cause of the hiccups should be identified in a timely manner. 1. Brain stem infarction: If the patient has brain stem infarction, frequent hiccups may occur. Because the hiccup center is located in the brainstem, if the hiccup center is damaged, leading to hiccup center dysfunction, and then hiccups may occur. 2. Increased intracranial pressure: some patients with cerebral infarction after cerebral edema, resulting in increased intracranial pressure, stimulating the ergotropic center, and then hiccups can occur. 3. Flatulence: because of the restricted activities of patients with cerebral infarction, the gastrointestinal activity is also reduced, easily caused by indigestion and flatulence, which may also appear hiccups. In addition to the above factors, we can’t rule out other factors, such as vagus nerve excitation, lung infection, etc., which cause diaphragmatic spasm. You should consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause and give targeted treatment.
