I'm curious about something that's been happening to me for a while now. Whenever I rub the same spot on both sides of my chin, I get the hiccups. It's always been like this, but I've never really worried about it until now. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned?

You can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to help alleviate the hiccups. If the hiccups persist, you can also try medications like chlorpromazine or metoclopramide under the guidance of a healthcare provider.

I'm really concerned about a pulsating sensation I've been feeling above my temple, which seems to extend towards my ear. It's become quite severe at times and feels like a sharp, injecting pain. This has been happening on and off for a few months now, and I'm genuinely worried that this might mean my blood vessels could burst. I've also got some stress, wisdom teeth pain, and ear blockage on the same side. Everything seems to be happening on the right side of my head, and it's making me really anxious. Is this something serious that I should be worried about?

yes
