Question
Hello doctor,
I have had acid reflux for 2 years now. I often hiccup every time I eat or drink while sleeping. About a month ago, the throat was sore, itchy, and the sore throat did not go away. The right ear emits heat. Throat with slight phlegm, dry cracked lips. So the doctor asked me what is the cause of frequent hiccups in women? Thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “What is the cause of frequent hiccups in women? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Symptoms of hiccups when eating may be a manifestation of reflux disease or achalasia (esophageal motility disorder). You should go back to the doctor, if you need to measure pressure and motility of the esophagus. Cardiac spasm also causes food to stagnate, causing it to push back into the throat, causing pharyngitis and respiratory inflammation.
If you still have questions about women who often hiccup, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
