Why do people burp?
Burping is actually a product of human evolution and it is difficult to stop it. One of the reasons is that this process is controlled by a part of our brain, which evolved long before we were conscious, so no matter how hard you try, it is difficult to control it by willpower.
Burping is also a protective reaction of the body. Between the chest and abdominal cavity, there is a thick hat-like muscle membrane called diaphragm, which separates the chest and abdominal cavity. Diaphragm, like other organs of the body, has nerve distribution and blood supply. Once the diaphragm * * *, the nerve will transmit * * * to the brain, and the brain will give instructions, which will lead to paroxysmal and spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm, and then hiccups will occur. This kind of * * * mostly comes from the pressure of bloating, so people often burp because they are in a hurry to eat or swallow more air when eating. Temporary hiccups may also occur after exposure to cold, eating hard or spicy food.
Frequent burping is a "warning" of stomach trouble.
Most burps are accidental. If you burp frequently, it may be caused by some diseases. If you burp frequently, you will burp unconsciously even if you don't eat, which may indicate that your stomach is infected with Helicobacter pylori.
Helicobacter pylori infection causes gastritis. Most patients may have dull pain in the upper abdomen, stomachache, fullness after meals, loss of appetite, belching and other symptoms. Symptoms can be mild or severe, recurrent or long-lasting. It is suggested that the families of patients with Helicobacter pylori infection should be tested for Helicobacter pylori to prevent cross-infection.
Persistent hiccups are called hiccups.
Persistent hiccups may be a disease called hiccups. Hiccups that occur frequently or last for more than 24 hours are called intractable hiccups.
There was once a patient who was under great pressure because of an investment failure. Since then, the symptoms of hiccups have appeared. In severe cases, I burp all the time except lying down. All indicators showed that the patient had no organic lesions. In the treatment, the doctor chose Chinese medicine combined with acupuncture and some western medicines to suppress gastric acid, and later the patient's hiccup was relieved.
Old people should be alert to stroke when they burp frequently.
For the elderly, repeated hiccups may be a precursor to stroke, so seek medical attention in time.
The symptoms of hiccups after stroke are as follows: on the one hand, intracranial lesions directly or indirectly affect the respiratory center and the vagus nerve nucleus of the brain stem, delayed cerebral vessels regulating respiratory heartbeat are blocked, autonomic nerve function is disordered, and hiccups always occur; On the other hand, stress ulcer often occurs after stroke, leading to upper gastrointestinal bleeding. After bleeding, the spasm of gastric mucosa, diaphragm and diaphragm causes hiccups.
If the elderly continue to burp, accompanied by symptoms such as poor physical activity, unclear speech and even unconsciousness, especially those suffering from basic diseases (such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, etc.). ), be alert to stroke and seek medical advice quickly.
