I'm not even sure which category to put
this under. For the past 4 months or so,
I've been getting hiccups a lot more than
usual. I probably get a "fit" of hiccups
at least every other day. I will also
hiccup randomly (as in just one hiccup)
about every hour. More recently, for about
the past month I've been burping
involuntarily (is it always involuntary).
Most recently, it happens once every 5-10
mins. It's not too obtrusive, but it's
weird/annoying. Before this, I almost
never burped, didn't know what burping
felt like, cannot make myself burp, etc.
At my last physical (about a month ago) my
doctor noted that I had a lot of air
inside my abdomen. She just told me this
and I didn't really think much of what it
meant. Now I think it's all related.
I would feel REALLY silly going to the
doctor about hiccups but I think I might
go soon. Most recently I feel sort of a
"pressure" in my stomach, nothing too bad
and nothing painful.
Does anyone have ANY idea of what this is?
I was thinking maybe a food sensitivity.
How the heck do they get rid of air inside
of you? And how is this all treated?
