Ukuba neyodwa eningi kakhulu kungaba nemiphumela ebulalayo: ukukhubeka kubha; ukuhlasela isiqandisi; futhi kwesinye isikhathi, icala elisho ama-hiccups. (Bheka yonke imithelela yokuguqula umzimba wotshwala.)

Kepha kungani ihora lokujabula lingakushiya ukhefuzele ngokungalawuleki? Ukuze uqonde ukuthi kufanele uqonde ukuthi iyini i-hiccup: "ukufinyela okuzenzakalelayo kwe-diaphragm okuvame ukuholela ekukhishweni komoya," kusho u-Richard Benya, M.D., i-gastroenterologist kanye nomqondisi we-Loyola University Health System.

I-diaphragm yakho iyishidi elincanyana lomsipha elihlukanisa isifuba sakho nesisu sakho, kuchaza uGina Sam, M.D., umqondisi weGastrointestinal Motility Center esibhedlela saseMount Sinai eDolobheni laseNew York. Lapho udonsa umoya kakhulu, uyafinyela. Uma une-hiccups, noma kunjalo, kuyahlaba, kusho yena. "Ukuphefumula kwakho kuvele kumiswe ngokuvaleka kwezintambo zezwi."

Imvamisa, lokhu kungenxa yokuthi i-vagus nerve-esuka ebuchosheni bakho iye esiswini sakho ngezitho ezinjenge-esophagus-iyacasuka, kusho uSam. Izimbangela zalokhu kucasuka: ukugwinya umoya omningi (i-ahem, iziphuzo ezine-carbonated); ukudla isidlo esikhulu (isisu sakho singanwebeka, sikhuhle uqweqwe lwakho, kusho uBenya); ukubhobhoza iziphuzo ezishisayo; izikhathi zokucindezeleka ngokomzwelo; futhi yebo: utshwala. (I-Ahem: Izimpawu eziyi-8 Uphuza ngokweqile.)

"Kungenzeka ukuthi utshwala bukhuthaza i-acid reflux futhi lokho kungacasula umqala," kusho uSam. Uma uphuza, notshwala bungena ebuchosheni bakho futhi bungadala inzwa ye-vagus, iyicasule, kusho uBenya.

Kodwa ngenkathi ecasulayo, icala elibuhlungu le-hiccups linjalo ngokuvamile evamile.

"Kungaleso sikhathi lapho bekhathazeka khona usuku lonke, amahora angama-48, noma isonto-lapho sikhathazeka khona," kusho uSam, owengeza ngokuthi lokhu kungaba wuphawu lwezinkinga zobuchopho, umdlavuza, ukutheleleka, noma isifo sohlangothi. "Iziguli eziye zaba nezinkinga zezinso noma yikuphi ukucasuka ekhanda, entanyeni, noma esifubeni nazo zingaba nama-hiccups," esho.

Futhi ngokuma 'em? "Izikhubekiso azikhethi," kusho uBenya. Ngakho-ke ungahle ungabi nenhlanhla enkulu yokubakhahlela kunqenqema lomgwaqo. (Qaphela: Uma uhlushwa ama-yelps aqhubekayo, imithi ebizwa ngokuthi i-calcium channel blockers ingasiza.)

Vele, ngeke sahlulele: Bamba umoya wakho, gwinya isipuni sikashukela, noma uvale ikhala lakho (noma yizindlebe zakho ...?). Vele uxwayiswe-ungahle uvele ubukeke ubuthutha njengoba uzwakala! (Futhi kulelo nothi, Kungani Umuntu Oyedwa Ehlala Edakwa Kakhulu Ephathini Yeholide?)
