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.

I'm a 21-year-old guy with a sliding hiatal hernia, and my doctor said surgery isn't needed right now. I really want to start going to the gym but I'm worried about making my condition worse. Can I still do workouts or should I avoid certain exercises? Feeling pretty down about this and need some guidance.

For sliding hiatal hernia, you can still work out, but avoid exercises that strain the abdomen, such as heavy lifting or intense core workouts. Focus on low-impact activities, and discuss with your doctor for a safe exercise plan.

I've been having pain on my right side for about two weeks now, especially when I lay on my left side. It's pretty uncomfortable, and I'm starting to worry. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

The persistent pain on your right side, exacerbated by lying on your left side, could be related to various factors, including muscle strain, gallbladder issues, kidney stones, or even a herniated disk; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation, including physical examination and potentially imaging tests, to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
