Article Synopsis
- Singultus is a medical term for hiccups that happen suddenly and weirdly due to muscle contractions in the diaphragm and chest.
- A woman with a brain tumor had a lot of hiccups that wouldn’t go away, so doctors tried treating her by blocking the nerves that cause hiccups, which helped at first but the hiccups came back.
- Later on, they used a special method to treat her nerves, which worked well and got rid of her hiccups completely, showing that this can be a good solution for people with really stubborn hiccups.
