Question
Hello doctor,
In the last few months, every time I take any medicine, I have hiccups for 1-2 days. So the doctor asked me if hiccups after taking the drug are related to the stomach? Thank you doctor.

Hi friends,
With the question “Is hiccups after taking medicine related to the stomach? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Hiccups are usually caused by something that irritates the diaphragm. Usually due to eating, such as carbonated drinks, drinking a lot of alcohol, sudden temperature changes, swallowing large amounts of air.
So in this case it may be because you drink a lot of water while taking the medicine or swallow a large amount of air. However, for an accurate diagnosis you should visit a gastroenterologist to find the exact cause.
If you still have questions about hiccups after taking medicine, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
