Hiccups, respiratory distress, and death.
Yes, an elevated diaphragm can cause coughing. This can happen when the diaphragm is irritated or weakened, leading to spasms or difficulty in breathing. In some cases, this can result in a persistent cough as the body tries to clear the airways.
Yes, it is possible to experience diaphragm spasms without having hiccups. Diaphragm spasms can occur due to various factors, such as stress, irritation, or muscle fatigue, and may not always result in the characteristic sound and reflexive action associated with hiccups. While hiccups are a specific type of involuntary contraction, other forms of diaphragm spasms can manifest differently and may not be noticeable as hiccups.
A hiccup occurs when the diaphragm is thrown into spasms.
It spasms causing quick sharp inhalations.
Hiccups are caused by spasms of the diaphragm, the muscle located at the base of the chest that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity. When the diaphragm contracts involuntarily, it results in a sudden intake of air that is abruptly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords, producing the characteristic "hic" sound. This reflex can be triggered by various factors, including overeating, drinking carbonated beverages, or sudden temperature changes.
Diaphragm spasms that are not hiccups can manifest as prolonged or painful contractions of the diaphragm without the characteristic sound or sensation associated with hiccups. These spasms may be caused by factors such as muscle fatigue, irritation, or underlying medical conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or nerve issues. Unlike hiccups, these spasms can lead to discomfort and may require medical evaluation if persistent or severe. It's important to differentiate them from hiccups to ensure appropriate treatment.
Hiccups are diaphragm spasms, and are caused by air pockets swallowed when consuming food or liquid.
I can find no listing of side effects that would cause or include twitching or spasms. I'd say no.
Singultus is the state of having the reflex spasms of diaphragm and accompanied by the rapid closure of glottis producing the audible sound.
they might be more sensitive in certain situations, and any animal with a diaphragm can get the hiccups. all hiccups are is when the diaphragm becomes out of sync and spasms, usually visible through the animal's belly.
yes
Please do not as it has been ruled hazardous to the health of those who are subject to chronic diaphragm spasms.
