What should I do if I have cirrhosis and frequently hiccup?

Patient's question:

Hepatic cirrhosis-induced portal hypertension with ascites, now constantly hiccuping, what to do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, are you currently experiencing any other symptoms?
Suggestion: Based on your description, hiccups are generally caused by spasms and contractions of the diaphragm. It is recommended that you avoid overeating, spicy foods, and dry foods as much as possible. Additionally, during the treatment of liver cirrhosis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay close attention to their diet, eat more light foods, and avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
