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 got an sgpt level of 56, and it seems like all the other tests in my master check-up came back normal. Should I be worried about this? My doctor mentioned that I don't need any medication for the increased sgpt level, but I'd like to understand if there's anything else I should be considering.
An SGPT level of 56 is slightly elevated, but your doctor's reassurance suggests it's likely not a cause for concern; mildly elevated SGPT can be due to various factors like fatty liver, muscle damage, or alcohol consumption; since your other test results are normal, your doctor may recommend monitoring your SGPT levels periodically and making lifestyle adjustments, such as maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol intake, to help bring your SGPT levels back to normal.

I'm really struggling with this issue where my chest keeps getting filled with gas for the last 56 days. I've been drinking a lot of water which helps a bit, but then it just keeps happening. I'm burping all day long and last night I couldn't even sleep because it was so uncomfortable. Even when my chest isn't full, gas still forms in my stomach. Now today, my chest is actually hurting, and sometimes my neck starts to burn because of it. I'm not sure what to do; any suggestions?
You may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or GERD. I recommend taking an over-the-counter medication like Omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast. Additionally, you can try Simethicone (Gas-X) to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to avoid trigger foods like spicy or acidic foods, caffeine, and carbonated beverages. Elevating your head while sleeping can also help reduce nighttime symptoms. If your symptoms persist, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been on Flagyl 400 for the past three days after my gastroenterologist prescribed it, but now my sore throat's gotten worse, especially when I eat. Could this be because of the Flagyl? What should I do about the sore throat?
no sore throat is not a side effect of flagyl
