Hiccup can be a sign that health does not go well

Hiccup can be a sign that health does not go well

Quite known, hiccups range from newborn to old age. Often it is harmless to the body, but depending on the frequency at which they occur, soquinas may even signal a health problem. "The causes of the hiccup are diverse and are always related to the contraction of the diaphragm, which reacts in the form of air spasms, "explains the gastrointestinal trainer and professor of human anatomy at UNINOVE, Carlos José Lazzarini.
Red sign for the organism
The increased frequency of these spasms may indicate that something is wrong with the organism. When this happens, the causes of the hiccup are classified in two ways. The first, endogenous, is linked to health problems such as: increase of sodium in the body; chronic renal failure; infections in the central nervous system, which regulate breathing, and even tumors at the base of the lungs. While the other, of exogenous origin, may be related to: trauma in the base of the chest and postoperative related to surgeries in the upper base of the abdomen. The so-called "normal" hiccup, which presents a minor occurrence, can be caused for various reasons. The most common of these is fast food intake and constant talking during meals. "These attitudes increase the amount of air in the lungs, which end up reaching the diaphragm, causing the contraction and consequently the sob," he explains. The same contraction can also happen based on day-to-day situations. "To suffer thermal shocks of temperature or to cause a great shock, for example, they favor the appearance", explains Carlos Jose Lazzarini.
Facing the beast
Some homemade techniques account for to end the annoyance. From drinking water upside down to being frightened are attitudes that can end the problem. But, according to the specialist, none of them is able to stop the sobbing crises. "When it happens because of a day-to-day motivation, that is, they are sporadic, it is no use to follow rules, we have to wait for the diaphragm to react and to reduce contraction, so the crises stop and the breathing returns to normal,
However, when crises are common, it is best to seek a doctor. "This way, the specialist can find out the real cause to be able to seek the appropriate treatment," says Carlos José Lazzarini.
Poor baby!
According to the gastrologist, sporadic sobbing in newborns is common respiratory system that is still evolving. "It's no use calling for homemade recipes, such as putting the blanket lint on the child's forehead. If the cause of the hiccups is" normal ", just wait five to ten minutes on average, as the crisis passes." But the frequency alert remains. Hence, it is important to seek a specialist. "The increase in the level of sodium in the body is one of the reasons for the atypical occurrence of spasms in infants." The problem irritates the diaphragm, causing seizures, "he explains.
Hiccups and alcoholic beverages
There is no link between the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the hiccup, but the logic is the same: there is an increase in the amount of air in the lungs, which end up reaching the diaphragm, causing it to contract. "Usually people who drink a lot usually talk without pauses to breathe right," he explains.
