Hipo

El hipo y sus causas.




A todos nos ha pasado que te da hipo y no sabes porque. En este artículo te contamos las razones y lo que puede provocar en tu cuerpo, agregaremos algunos consejos para quitar el hipo ya que no negaremos que puede llegar a ser muy molesto.
Tal vez te preguntes de dónde vienen esos extraños sonidos. La culpa es del diafragma. Se trata de un músculo en forma de bóveda que se encuentra en la parte baja del pecho, y es allí donde empieza el hipo.

El diafragma casi siempre funciona a la perfección. Desciende cuando inhalas para ayudarte a llenar de aire los pulmones. Y se relaja en el momento en que inhalas para poder llenar los pulmones de aire. Cuando exhalas, se relaja para que el aire salga a través de la nariz y boca. Pero a veces el diafragma se irrita. Cuando esto pasa, el diafragma desciende de forma brusca y hace que entre aire en la garganta de golpe, choca contra tu laringe, tus cuerdas vocales se cierran repentinamente, provocando hipo.

Las cosas que generalmente causan esta irritación en el diafragma son comer demasiado, deprisa o mucha cantidad, una irritación en el estomago o en la garganta o simplemente el hecho de estar nervioso. Casi todos los episodios duran algunos minutos. Pero existen casos donde duran incluso días o semanas, esto es muy poco habitual y suele ser otro problema médico.
Probablemente habrás recibido muchos consejos sobre como eliminar el hipo. Aquí te compartimos algunos.
  • Tomar un vaso de agua fría.
  • Beber agua agachando el cuerpo hacia delante.
  • Aguantar la respiración y espirar después lentamente, repitiendo varias veces el proceso.
  • Tomar una cucharada de azúcar.
  • Respirar repetidamente dentro de una bolsa de papel.
  • Tomar una cucharadita de limón o un poco de vinagre.
  • Que te den un susto cuando te encuentres desprevenido (aunque esto puede no ser recomendable para algunas personas, y no se debe hacer con los niños).
  • Medicamentos (solo se deben administrar en caso de hipo persistente y bajo prescripción médica).

Changes

  Changes   Life keeps going, just like the world keeps moving, maybe you're feeling like you're having one of the best days of your life and suddenly you're a down dum in the dumps, or the other way round, when you feel like everything is lost, something finally feels right or end up being just the way you wanted to. Anyways, none of the situations I previously mention remains the same, at least not forever. Lots of people could claim that some feelings never die, that's true but unfortunately life isn't just about feeling, is about moving on.  I used to wish that my happy days last forever until I understood how impossible my wish was, no matter how hard I tried, my days could never be all rose colour, because my days not only depend on me but on so many external factors, impossible for me to control.  The bright side is that no matter how bad you're feeling, even if you feel like it's the end of the world, believe me, nothing las...

Someone

  Someone We all need someone, company and talks. We all need someone to step in our life and let us know that everything it's all right, someone who doesn't let us down. I'll call it a safe place, where you know you'd always run whenever things are wrong, and nothing makes sense. Not everyone can be your safe place, because unfortunately people usually let us down, but everyone has a someone, someone you know no matter what happen he or she won't slip away. Some one who stays in hell and heaven. I know it's hard to find someone like that, and if you already did, take care of them, the world is not full of them.  Those are the ones who take you back to life when you feel like drowning, I believe we all need one in our life, being alone and waiting to figure out everything on your own it's okay. But we all need company and advice at least once a while. I thank everyday for having found someone like that, and know that as everyday goes, she keeps reminding me ...

Eclipse

  Careful   Don't let what they want eclipse what you need, they can be very dreamy but they're not the sun, you are.  This blog begins with the word careful and a little quote I heard a long time ago. Allow me to explain myself, why careful? It's an advice to all those who just like me, whenever they love someone, they allow theirselves to sum up their whole life to the person you love.  I mean yeah, love is crucial in our lives but love does not resume to one person and one person only, believe me or not there's far beyond one important person in our lives, even when it looks like it plays the main role, we must be aware that the main role in the story is play by no one but us.  When you allow someone to eclipse yourself, you suddenly stop enjoying  life, why? because whenever they're not with you, you could feel like everything is useless, nothing but a lie playing with your head. You used to enjoy somethings before that someone came ...
