Patient's question:
Since having my child over two months ago, I've been burping every time after eating, and my stomach always gurgles when I lie down. It feels like there are a lot of gas swirling around inside.Doctor's answer:
Hiccups are often caused by overeating. There are multiple reasons for hiccups, including functional or organic changes in the stomach and esophagus. External substances, biochemical, and physical stimuli can also trigger them. For example: excessive air entering the stomach causing it to overflow from the mouth, psychological and neurological factors, poor dietary habits, and excessive swallowing movements. When hiccups are frequent and caused by conditions such as gastrointestinal neurosis or chronic gastrointestinal diseases leading to weakened stomach motility, they are difficult to improve during treatment. In daily life, try eating some dried hawthorn berries. If the condition is severe, seek medical treatment.
