MuffinMom Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 Do strong hiccups trigger a POTS episode for anyone else? Why could this be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted July 27, 2022 Report Share Posted July 27, 2022 @MuffinMom - I suppose they could stimulate the vagus nerve, same thing happens when we blow a balloon - it is pressure building up at the diaphragm that can trigger a vagal reaction. And that in turn can cause a flare in people with POTS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFW Posted August 1, 2022 Report Share Posted August 1, 2022 I have POTS and hiccup daily, several times a day. Sometimes I get bouts, but sometimes I’ll just hiccup once, at random. My boyfriend teases me for it. It’s become a bizarre little signature of mine, hiccuping loudly at odd intervals. I also sneeze daily, usually in bouts of 3, though I’ve had this long before the POTS and hiccups. What else is known about POTS and hiccups?
