Do you often feel embarrassed because of burping in public? Is it often because hiccups can't stop? In life, I often encounter myself burping in some public places, and I can't stop. Next, let me briefly talk about why burping occurs and how to stop it.
Why burp
Diet.
Many times, hiccups are caused by diet. For example, you eat faster, eat too full, and drink colder or hotter. These conditions can cause you to burp. Therefore, when eating, try not to eat too fast, but chew and swallow slowly.
Temperature.
Temperature changes in the environment can also cause hiccups. Although, you may not feel much about this situation, because generally, the ambient temperature you are in will not change very much. Moreover, even if the hiccup is caused by temperature, you will think it is caused by you eating too full or eating too fast.
Smoking.
Of course, smoking can also cause hiccups. Because burping itself is a symptom of diaphragm spasm and contraction. Smoking can promote the generation of spasm and contraction. Therefore, smoking will also produce hiccups.
Diseases.
Although the vast majority of hiccups are normal physiological phenomena. However, some diseases can also produce symptoms of hiccups. Generally, hiccups caused by diseases last for a long time or occur frequently.
How to stop hiccups
Take a deep breath.
Deep breathing can effectively stop hiccups. You can take a deep breath, then hold your breath for a long time, and then exhale. Repeat this operation, and it will be effective in a short time.

Drink warm water.
You can choose to drink warm water. One way is to drink it directly, but take a big SIP and swallow it several times; Another way is to bend down until your upper body and legs are 90 degrees, and then take a few mouthfuls of warm water to warm your diaphragm and relieve spasms.
Stretch your tongue.
You can wash your hands, then wrap the tip of your tongue with sterile gauze, grasp the tip of your tongue with your hand and stretch it out. When you can feel the gas coming out or rising in your body, it shows that it has an effect. After a few operations in this way, hiccups can stop.

Drugs.
If the disease causes frequent hiccups or hiccups for a long time, it must be treated with drugs. The doctor will prescribe some medicine for your illness. If the disease is cured, the hiccups will certainly disappear. If it's too bad, you can also use some drugs for hiccups.
How to prevent hiccups
Don't eat too full or too fast.
Hiccups are often caused by eating too fast and too full. In order to reduce hiccups, you must eat carefully and swallow slowly. Of course, chewing and swallowing is good for your health. When eating, it's best to eat only 7 or 8 minutes full. Being too full will also increase the burden on the intestines and stomach.
Soothe the liver and regulate qi.
In addition to diet, we should also pay attention to nourishing the liver and exhausting in life. Life is stressful, the mood has been in a state of depression, and then stay up late, which will certainly hurt the liver. Moreover, the backlog of depression for a long time is not conducive to health, and it will be more prone to hiccups.
