In Traditional Chinese Medicine the emotions are considered the major internal causes of disease.

When emotions become uncontrollable and extreme, to the point that they’re overwhelming, we see issues arise.

Coughing – Grief

Loss is something we all deal with in various ways or another, the end of a relationship or the death of a close family member or friend.

The lungs are responsible for drawing in clean, fresh air and expelling the breathing out of carbon dioxide. In with the new and letting go of the old, the cycle of life – and the lungs. When grief or sadness becomes unresolved, the lung Qi is weakened and coughing can occur. Consistent, recurring coughing is a sign of unresolved grief.

Sneezing – Worry & Grief 

The lungs and nose belong to same system, so naturally we can see that emotions affecting the lung Qi would create issues for the nose. Long term detachment will upset the lungs and can show up as recurrent sneezing or frequent colds.

When the spleen or stomach isn’t working properly, due to excessive worry, we see a disorder of the nasal mucosa (mucous membranes) and nasal obstruction, watery discharge, and sneezing result. The sense of smell is also affected.

Hiccups – Stress 

When liver Qi is stuck, due to frustration, anger, or stress we experience distension in the chest, the body often attempts to relieve this feeling through sighing. Discomfort is often felt just below the ribcage, along the path of the liver meridian, and hiccups can be caused due to Qi stuck in the diaphragm.

Hot Flushes – Anger

As we all know, heat rises in the home…heat also rises in the body. When anger or frustration occur, the liver Qi is compromised. Blocked liver Qi sends energy (heat) rising upward, causing issues in the body where the energy would normally flow downward. This can account for the upward rush of warmth and reddening of the face with a hot flash, often this is the cause of night sweats too.

Blocked Throat – Frustration

Stagnant liver Qi from frustration, anger or stress causes an excess of heat and dampness. When the blocked liver Qi injures the spleen or there is excessive anxiety, we see an obstruction in the ability to clear the dampness, and it turns into phlegm. This is when phlegm becomes a problem and accumulates in the body, primarily in the throat, alas the feeling of a blocked throat.

Swallowing problems : MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

Difficulty with swallowing is the feeling that food or liquid is stuck in the throat or at any point before the food enters the stomach. This problem is also called dysphagia.

This may be caused by a brain or nerve disorder, stress or anxiety, or problems that involve the back of the tongue, the throat, and the esophagus (tube leading from the throat to the stomach).

Symptoms of swallowing problems include:

• Coughing or choking, either during or after eating
• Gurgling sounds from the throat, during or after eating
• Throat clearing after drinking or swallowing
• Slow chewing or eating
• Coughing food back up after eating
• Hiccups after swallowing
• Chest discomfort during or after swallowing
• Unexplained weight loss

Symptoms may be mild or severe.

Most people with dysphagia should be checked by a health care provider if the symptoms persist or come back. But these general tips may help.

• Keep mealtime relaxed.
• Sit up as straight as possible when you eat.
• Take small bites, less than 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of food per bite.
• Chew well and swallow your food before taking another bite.
• If one side of your face or mouth is weaker, chew food on the stronger side of your mouth.
• Do not mix solid foods with liquids in the same bite.
• Do not try to wash down solids with sips of liquids, unless your speech or swallowing therapist says this is OK.
• Do not talk and swallow at the same time.
• Sit upright for 30 to 45 minutes after eating.
• Do not drink thin liquids without checking with your doctor or therapist first.

You may need someone to remind you to finish swallowing. It may also help to ask caregivers and family members not to talk to you when you are eating or drinking.

Call your provider if:

• You cough or have fever or shortness of breath
• You are losing weight
• Your swallowing problems are getting worse

MOSCOW, January 14 – RIA Novosti, Tatyana Pichugina. As the COVID-19 pandemic develops, scientific journals publish articles about atypical manifestations of the disease. One of them is hiccups, which does not stop for several days. How it is connected with a viral infection – in the material of RIA Novosti. Hiccups brought to the hospital A 62-year-old man was admitted to the Cook County clinic in the United States with complaints of hiccups lasting four days. In addition, in recent months he has lost a lot of weight. There were no cold symptoms, except for a slightly elevated temperature. Doctors took a chest X-ray to check for a tumor, but instead found ground-glass opacities in the lungs, a typical sign of viral pneumonia. Studies have shown that the patient has COVID-19. He was quickly cured. Doctors described this case in an article and emphasized the importance of such a symptom of coronavirus infection as hiccups. In November 2020, scientists from Cairo University in Egypt reported on a 48-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital with hiccups, fever and sore throat. He’s been sick for a week now. According to CT of the lungs and PCR tests, he was diagnosed with COVID-19. To therapy added drugs that relieve hiccups. Ten days later, the patient was discharged. Pneumonia really occasionally manifests itself in the form of hiccups, which disappears after a course of treatment, doctors from Turkey write. They observed two men who went to the doctors because of the constant hiccups. One was diagnosed with covid, and the other recently recovered, but the consequences made themselves felt in such an unusual way. Another story from Mexico. A 48-year-old man came to the hospital with hiccups that did not stop 96 hours. There were no other painful symptoms, so he was treated as an outpatient, but the reaction did not go away. Then he was examined in more detail and found pneumonia on CT, the smear was positive. “With unexplained manifestations of inflammatory diseases, arterial and venous thrombosis, it is important to keep in mind COVID-19,” the authors conclude. In Search of CausesHiccups are respiratory failure due to simultaneous contraction of the diaphragm and intercostal muscles. The person takes a sharp breath, but the glottis closes, the air slips through the folds with a characteristic “hic” sound. Such a reaction is considered physiologically normal in response to stomach irritation, bloating and overeating. Hiccups come and go spontaneously. If it lasts two days or more, this is already a pathology. A person suffers, his body is exhausted. “The third day went like hiccups, I want to sleep, but I can’t,” says one of the Pikabu network users. To find out the cause of the violation, he went to the doctor. Hepatitis C was discovered. As the authors of the review “Hiccups: Mystery, Nature, Treatment” write, the brain processes that are responsible for the appearance of an unpleasant reflex are poorly understood. It is known that molecules of dopamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid are involved in this, so drugs blocking them sometimes work. But in general, there is no special treatment. Neither adults nor children are spared from hiccups – even the fetus inside the womb. Scientists know more than a hundred causes: chemical irritants, drugs, inflammation, infections, tumors, injuries, heart problems, alcoholism. In some cases, drugs are needed, someone is helped by acupuncture, holding the breath and other folk remedies, for example, inducing a gag reflex, as well as sugar, lemon. American scientists estimate that almost four thousand people end up in US hospitals a year due to hiccups . Sometimes attacks last more than a month. Record set by Iowa farmer who hiccupped 69years and 9 months: from 1922 to 1990. The cause was a cerebral hemorrhage after the man raised the pig. Mexico

Jan – RIA Novosti, Tatyana Pichugina. As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, scientific journals publish articles about atypical manifestations of the disease. One of them is hiccups, which does not stop for several days. How this is connected with a viral infection – in the material RIA Novosti.

Hiccups brought to the hospital

Hiccups are usually harmless, but a very unpleasant and annoying symptom. Everyone is used to the fact that it passes somehow by itself and does not attach due importance to it. Can the well-known “ik” be deadly?

Just a reflex

Hiccups are the result of contraction of the diaphragm and chest muscles. So there is a sharp closure of the glottis, accompanied by a characteristic sound and a shudder of the body.

In simple words, hiccups are a kind of unconditioned reflex, whether it’s sneezing or coughing. With the help of such a mechanism, the body can get rid of excess air that has ended up inside the stomach. The attack will stop as soon as all the air is out.

Why it occurs

Physiological hiccups in a healthy adult can be associated with prolonged exposure to an uncomfortable position, as well as irritation of the esophagus and stomach. In addition, the cause of hiccups may be the habit of quickly eating food or a tendency to overeat. This causes excess air to enter the stomach. It can also be associated with stress and laughter.

Also, the cause of episodic hiccups can be the use of alcohol, which causes intoxication of the body, negatively affects the nervous system and irritates the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract.

Hiccups are dangerous

Hiccups are not serious or life-threatening in and of themselves. However, in some cases, it can indicate serious violations in the body. You need to understand in what cases you need to see a doctor, and not self-medicate.

First, if the hiccups do not go away for more than an hour. Secondly, if the attacks bother you several times a day or several times a week. And, thirdly, if, in addition to hiccups, you feel chest pain, suffer from heartburn, or feel swallowing problems.

There are two forms of hiccups: physiological (normal), we have described it above. And there is also pathological, it can be the cause of any disease and can last for a long time – sometimes it does not end for several days. It happens:

1. Central origin – occurs in diseases of the brain and spinal cord, central nervous system and mental disorders.

2. Peripheral origin – when it affects the phrenic nerve, coming from the cervical spinal cord. In such hiccups, there is one that is explained by irritation of the vagus nerve due to diseases of the stomach, esophagus and heart.

3. Referred – refers to a type of peripheral hiccups. It occurs in diseases of organs that are far from the service area of ​​the phrenic nerve. It includes hiccups due to bowel disease.

4. Toxic – it is associated with poisoning of the body with harmful substances. Hiccups can occur as a result of alcohol and drug intoxication, infectious diseases, diabetes mellitus, and severe renal failure.

Do not immediately panic if you are haunted by prolonged hiccups. Usually, all serious diseases have much more pronounced signs that you will notice earlier than pathological diaphragmatic contraction.

How to help yourself

Physiological hiccups that are not associated with serious illness usually resolve on their own within 10-20 minutes. And although it does not threaten life, it delivers a lot of unpleasant sensations. Making a loud “hic” sound is sometimes completely out of place, so people come up with various ways to get rid of an attack as soon as possible.

Here are some life hacks. First, you can press down on the base of the tongue with your finger, as if you were inducing vomiting. Contraction of the esophagus after irritation will block diaphragmatic spasms.

Some people also find it helpful to take a deep breath, hold the breath a little, and exhale into a sealed bag. Then inhale the air from the bag. Thus, carbon dioxide enters the bloodstream, which will make the respiratory system work properly.
