Talk about the attack of bad hiccups. In the latest report, the doctor will explain to the elderly, aged suffering from the hiccups that are not healed.
Doctors in Lebanon give details about strange medical language in paper. Published This month in medical reports The hiccup of that man was so bad that he finally had to be hospitalized. At this point, the doctor discovered an abnormal expression of well -known allergies. But quite rare Fortunately, when the cause was discovered, the man was properly treated and his hiccups stopped.
Hiccup The uninformed shrinkage of a thin muscle diaphragm at the base of the chest, most of which will help us breathe. Usually, they are short -term suffering caused by worldly things, such as eating too fast, drinking a lot of carbonated drinks or even excited. However, hiccups may be a sign of More intense health problemsEspecially if they didn't disappear for a while
According to this report, the man suffered for over two years with hiccups and without touch or reasoning. That man uses a variety of drugs to help stop at the time, including Baclofen (muscle loosening), chlorpromazine. (Sometimes the psychopath medication used for chronic hiccups) and proton inhibitors (Used to treat acid reflux But there is nothing to help In the end, the symptoms of that man came to the broken spot while he began to experience hiccups without rest for two weeks with fatigue, which caused him to be hospitalized.
The preliminary doctor failed to find a clear indication of what causes human hiccups. But the blood test revealed that he is unusually high EosinophilsWhite blood cells that help prevent parasites Unfortunately, these cells tend to play a role in causing allergies and asthma. When everything is normal, about 1% to 4% of the adult white blood cells will be Eosinophils, but the man has an 18% Eosinophil and no signs of parasitic infections. The next test confirms that he has a condition called Eosinophilic Esophagitis or EOE.
EOE is caused by the accumulation of eosinophils that damage the esophagus. (This can happen elsewhere in the body as well.) Although the episodes of EOE can be determined by general allergic trigger such as certain foods. But it is a different type of immunity than general food allergies The victims often find a delayed reaction to their trigger, for example, instead of Blessing that almost occurs with its classic peanut allergies. Approximately Almost half a million Americans have EOE, although its prevalence will increase over time.
Scientists are not yet known about EOE, including the methods that occur or why, even if genetics are a risk factor that is likely to be But this case is more stranger than most people due to the hiccups of that man EEE's more common symptoms, including the problem of jealousy and food stuck in the esophagus, no man, his EOE is still found when older than usual. In general, in the case of diagnosed as a child in childhood or when people up to 30 and 40
The doctor looked through medical literature and found that there were two chronic hiccup patients in the EOE. One possible explanation for human hiccups is his EOE, causing the cells in the esophagus to send a motivation to the vaginal nerves. (Important nerves that communicate with diaphragm in other parts of the body)
Fortunately, this story ended happily. The doctor initially gave him a combination of proton inhibitors at the pump. (Including the treatment of EOE) and Baclofen, which only improved his hiccups. But when they changed him to a unique steroid, his hiccups disappeared in a week and his Eosinophil counting to a good level of health.
In the event that the doctor says it is a lesson that sometimes this allergy can appear in an abnormal form. “EOE should be considered in the diagnosis of diseases in patients with chronic hiccups, although the general symptoms of EOE are lacking and treatment with specific steroids that should be considered.” They wrote.
