Which hiccups are stomach cancer?

Persistent, persistent hiccups accompanied by other abnormal symptoms may be associated with stomach cancer. Gastric cancer causes hiccups mainly because the tumor is located in the stomach near the diaphragm. As the tumor grows, it may irritate the diaphragm, causing persistent hiccups. This hiccup may not be easy to resolve on its own and is different from ordinary hiccups. When hiccups last for a long time, such as more than 48 hours or longer, and conventional methods are difficult to improve, be alert to the possibility of stomach cancer. Because most hiccups are short-lived, they can disappear on their own or be relieved by some simple methods. At the same time, if hiccups are accompanied by upper abdominal pain, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, weight loss, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, hematemesis, melena and other abnormal manifestations, it is more necessary to highly suspect gastric cancer. The combination of these symptoms suggests that there may be serious lesions in the stomach, which cannot be simply considered as a common hiccup problem. It should be emphasized that hiccups are not necessarily gastric cancer, but if hiccups in the above special circumstances occur, they must be treated promptly and undergo comprehensive examinations, such as gastroscopy and imaging examinations, so as to make a clear diagnosis as soon as possible and take corresponding treatment measures.
