Hiccup Reflected

Hiccups are a reflex contraction of the diaphragm that occurs due to irritation of the phrenic nerves. However, sometimes hiccups can be caused by pathological changes in other organs and systems of the body, which is called referred hiccups.

Referred hiccups occur when nerve impulses that would cause the diaphragm to contract travel to other nerves located in other parts of the body. For example, in abdominal diseases such as appendicitis or pancreatitis, nerve impulses may be sent to the nerves that control the abdominal muscles. This can cause your abdominal muscles to contract, which causes hiccups.

In addition, referred hiccups can occur with other medical conditions, such as heart or lung disease. In such cases, nerve impulses from these organs can travel to the phrenic nerves and cause hiccups.

It is important to understand that referred hiccups are not an independent disease. It is only a symptom of another disease, and to treat it it is necessary to treat the underlying disease.

In general, referred hiccups are quite common and can affect anyone. However, if it continues for a long time or is accompanied by other symptoms such as abdominal pain or shortness of breath, you should see a doctor to diagnose and treat the underlying condition.

Hiccups are reflected - this is a pathological phenomenon that occurs in the practice of gastroenterologists, therapists, and also among surgeons. It occurs with various changes in the tissues of various organs that are not located in the zone of nerve innervation of the diaphragm. This condition is characterized by the simultaneous appearance of hiccups and disruptions in the functioning of different human systems.
