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 allI've been dealing with gastric trouble for 4-5 years, but this time it's really bad. I get gas in my stomach no matter what I eat, like even if it's just papaya or any other food. Do you have any advice or solutions for this?
You are experiencing chronic gastric issues. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name Gas-X) 125mg after meals to help relieve gas in your stomach. It is also important to avoid foods that trigger gas such as beans, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Make sure to drink plenty of water and practice stress-reducing activities like yoga or meditation.

I've been having some issues for about a month now with not being able to completely pass my stools. Even when I try hard, it feels like my bowels aren't getting fully emptied, and I'm constantly feeling tired and sleepy. There's also this pain that's been persistent in my legs, right side of my stomach, and back area. I've noticed I'm coughing more often than usual too. Sometimes my lips feel a little burnt, and I keep getting this odd taste in my mouth. I often feel the urge to have a bowel movement, but when I get to the bathroom, the feeling just slows down. I can't seem to pass gas completely either, and it's like I can feel the gas moving around in my stomach. What could be causing all this?
-It sounds like you're dealing with constipation, fatigue, and digestive issues, possibly related to a blockage or slow digestion. The pain in your legs, stomach, and back, along with increased coughing and discomfort with gas, could be signs of digestive
