Burping, tinnitus, and tachycardia are common small ailments that can test one's patience when they occur. Here's a tip for you: Shut your mouth and hold your breath. Maybe it will stop! (Note: This method is not suitable for patients with myocardial infarction.)
Stop burping
Hiccup, medically known as "diaphragmatic spasm," is a symptom caused by involuntary intermittent contractive activity of the diaphragm.
Method:
1. Finger pressure and breath-holding method: press both hands at the Neiguan and Waiguan acupoints; While pressing, close your mouth and inhale deeply; Try not to breathe, then slowly exhale with your mouth open.
2. After swallowing warm boiled water, hold your breath: Slowly swallow warm boiled water in your mouth, hold your breath for 1 minute, and repeat this for 2-3 times.
Tinnitus abatement
If tinnitus is caused by ischemia and hypoxia in the auditory center, auditory nerve, and auditory organ endings, it is often caused by other major diseases such as hypertension, hypotension, anemia, and arteriosclerosis. At this time, focusing on the treatment of major diseases can improve tinnitus. For elderly people with light tinnitus, it is advisable to try the following methods.
Method: Sit quietly, close your lips tightly, pinch your nostrils with your fingers, open your eyes angrily, and exhale to impact your ears until you feel a roar. Do it several times a day for two days to achieve significant results.
Calming down tachycardia
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia is a common arrhythmia. The attack often occurs without any warning. The duration of the attack varies. Most patients can terminate spontaneously after onset, while a few must take medication.
Method: When a sudden attack occurs, take a deep breath, hold your breath for 10-20 seconds, and then exhale vigorously. If the tachycardia cannot be terminated after 1-2 attempts, it should be promptly treated in the hospital.
