Hi thanks for using HCM
There are many reasons for severe hiccups, these could be
Metabolic diseases, Diabetes, Kidney failure, Electrolyte imbalance, Deviated septum,Infections, brainTumors, Meningitis , Nerve damage/irritation, Vagus and phrenic nerve involvement, Laryngitis, Gastroesophageal reflux,
You need to get evaluated for these conditions.
Simple measures to control hiccuos are:
Involves increasing the partial pressure of CO2 and inhibiting diaphragm activity by holding one’s breath or rebreathing into a paper bag. Vagus nerve stimulation can improve hiccups, done at home by irritating the pharynx through swallowing dry bread or crushed ice, or by applying traction to the tongue, or by stimulating the gag reflex.
For fatty liver, try to avoid alcohol, regular diet. moderate exercise with weight loss.
Hope i have answered your query. wish you a good health.
