Hello,
With the question “What is hiccups after taking medicine? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Hiccups are a symptom of many different diseases, it can be caused by surgery in the abdomen, diaphragm, vagus nerve, due to weather changes, stress.. but The leading cause is pathology of the stomach with or without reflux esophagitis caused by gastric distension, diaphragmatic irritation, intercostal space or vagus nerve. This symptom usually does not last more than 48 hours and resolves on its own.
However, for you, often having hiccups after taking the medicine can think a lot about the pathology of the stomach, if it only happens 1-2 times, it's okay, but it recurs many times, you have to go to the doctor soon.
Maybe you have to do a gastroscopy to see if there are any problems, currently the gastroscopy is very simple so you do not need to worry much.
