Hiccups may be related to reflux esophagitis, gastrointestinal disorders, cholecystitis and other causes.
1. Reflux esophagitis: patients with reflux esophagitis may hiccup due to the reflux of gastric acid secretion that irritates the esophagus.
2. Gastrointestinal disorders: Common gastrointestinal disorders include gastrointestinal dysfunction, which is caused by gastric insufficiency, flatulence that cannot be discharged normally, or indigestion.
3. Cholecystitis: in patients with cholecystitis, the inflammation may stimulate the diaphragm, causing contraction of the diaphragm and hiccups.
There may be other reasons for hiccups, such as the adverse reaction of glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisolone, pyloric spasm, etc. It is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner, improve the examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then give targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of the doctor.
