I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

View allmy dad has a 6 cm benign tumor in his stomach near the upper part of the fundus - does he need surgery right away or are there medicines that can help shrink the tumor
A 6cm benign tumor in the upper part of the stomach fundus may not require immediate surgery, but it's crucial to consult with a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Surgery is often recommended for benign tumors causing symptoms, but in some cases, "watchful waiting" with regular monitoring might be an option. While medications can't shrink the tumor itself, they can help manage symptoms like pain or swelling

I'm dealing with ongoing dysentery and constipation issues and nothing I've tried is working. Spicy foods just make it worse by causing a lot of acid and more dysentery. Even meds like O2 aren't helping. I've started using Aloe Vera juice and green tea to see if it makes a difference. I'm feeling really weak and am losing weight. What else can I try or what should I do to improve my situation?
For chronic dysentery and constipation, you can try taking Loperamide (Imodium) for dysentery and a stool softener like Docusate Sodium (Colace) for constipation. In addition to Aloe Vera juice and green tea, you can also try probiotics like Align or Culturelle to help with your digestive issues. Make sure to stay hydrated and eat a balanced diet with plenty of fiber. If you continue to feel weak and lose weight, it is important to consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this weird sensation like something's stuck in my throat, and sometimes I even feel pain that goes all the way down to my chest. It seems to get worse when I wake up in the morning, but when I gargle or have some green tea, it feels a bit better. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
it can be due to post nasal drip
