Izikhubekiso

I-hiccup ukunyakaza okungahlosiwe (i-spasm) ye-diaphragm, imisipha engaphansi kwamaphaphu. I-spasm ilandelwa ukuvalwa okusheshayo kwezintambo zezwi. Lokhu kuvalwa kwama-vocal chords kukhiqiza umsindo ohlukile.

Ama-hiccups avame ukuqala ngaphandle kwesizathu. Zivame ukunyamalala ngemuva kwemizuzu embalwa. Ezimweni ezingavamile, ama-hiccups angahlala izinsuku, amasonto, noma izinyanga. Ama-hiccups ajwayelekile futhi ajwayelekile ezinganeni ezisanda kuzalwa nasezinsaneni.

Izimbangela zingafaka:

• Ukuhlinzwa kwesisu
• Izifo noma ukuphazamiseka okucasula izinzwa ezilawula i-diaphragm (kufaka phakathi i-pleurisy, i-pneumonia, noma izifo ezingaphezulu kwesisu)
• Ukudla okushisayo nobabayo noma oketshezi
• Intuthu eyingozi
• Unhlangothi noma isimila esithinta ubuchopho

Imvamisa asikho isizathu esithile se-hiccups.

Ayikho indlela eqinisekile yokumisa ama-hiccups, kepha kukhona iziphakamiso eziningi ezijwayelekile ezingazanywa:

• Phefumula kaningi esikhwameni sephepha.
• Phuza ingilazi yamanzi abandayo.
• Yidla isipuni (4 amagremu) kashukela.
• Bamba umoya.

Xhumana nomhlinzeki wakho wezokunakekelwa kwezempilo uma ama-hiccups eqhubeka isikhathi esingaphezu kwezinsuku ezimbalwa.

Uma udinga ukubona umhlinzeki wakho ngama-hiccups, uzoba nokuhlolwa komzimba bese ubuzwa imibuzo mayelana nenkinga.

Imibuzo ingafaka:

• Ingabe uthola ama-hiccups kalula?
• Sithathe isikhathi esingakanani lesi siqephu sama-hiccups?
• Ingabe usanda kudla okuthile okushisayo noma okubabayo?
• Usanda kuphuza iziphuzo ezinekhabhoni?
• Ingabe uke wachayeka kunoma imuphi umusi?
• Yini oke wazama ukuqeda ama-hiccups?
• Yini ebiphumelele kuwe esikhathini esedlule?
• Uphumelele kangakanani umzamo?
• Ngabe ama-hiccups ame isikhashana abese eqala kabusha?
• Unazo ezinye izimpawu?

Ukuhlolwa okungeziwe kwenziwa kuphela lapho kusolwa ukuthi isifo noma isifo siyimbangela.

Ukwelapha ama-hiccups angapheli, umhlinzeki angenza ukuhlanzwa kwesisu noma ukusikhipha kwesono se-carotid entanyeni. Ungazami ukubhucunga i-carotid wedwa. Lokhu kufanele kwenziwe ngumhlinzeki.

Uma ama-hiccups eqhubeka, imithi ingasiza. Ukufakwa kwe-Tube esiswini (i-nasogastric intubation) nakho kungasiza.

Ezimweni ezingavamile kakhulu, uma imithi noma ezinye izindlela zingasebenzi, ukwelashwa okufana ne-phrenic nerve block kungazama. I-phrenic nerve ilawula i-diaphragm.
