What causes hiccups?

Hiccup is a common physiological phenomenon. Hiccups are caused by the involuntary contraction (spasm) of the diaphragm, which causes air to be quickly inhaled into the lungs and the gap between the two vocal cords to suddenly narrow, thus causing strange sounds. According to the location of the lesion, the causes are divided into: 1. Loss of the inhibitory function of the central hiccup reflex arc. The most important organic lesion site is the medulla oblongata, including brain tumors, cerebrovascular accidents, encephalitis, meningitis, metabolic lesions include uremia, alcohol poisoning, and others such as multiple sclerosis.

2. The centripetal pathway of the peripheral hiccup reflex arc is stimulated. Irritation of the phrenic nerve includes mediastinal tumors, esophagitis, esophageal cancer, thoracic aortic aneurysm, etc. Peridiaphragmatic lesions such as pneumonia, pleurisy, pericarditis, myocardial infarction, subdiaphragmatic abscess, hiatal hernia, etc.; vagus nerve stimulation can cause gastric dilatation, gastritis, gastric cancer, pancreatitis, etc. 3. Improper diet: eating too fast or too full, eating too much raw and cold food, and taking too many cold medicines will cause cold air to accumulate in the stomach, causing the stomach to lose harmony and descend, and stomach qi to rise up. It can also move up to the diaphragm through the hand Taiyin meridian, causing poor qi movement in the diaphragm, and qi rising up to the throat, causing hiccups.
