I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

I'm experiencing chest pain off and on throughout the day, and it often spreads to my shoulder and left hand. I've been to a cardiologist, and she mentioned it's not a heart issue. All my tests have come back normal, but I'm still concerned about the pain. Which kind of doctor should I see next to figure out what's going on? I'm really confused about the next step.
Since your cardiologist has ruled out heart-related issues and your reports are normal, your chest pain radiating to your shoulder and left hand might be due to musculoskeletal problems, such as costochondritis or muscle strain, or even nerve-related issues. A consultation with an orthopedic specialist or a pain management specialist might be beneficial to evaluate these possibilities. Additionally, if stress or anxiety is contributing to your symptoms, seeking advice from a mental health professional could also be helpful. They can provide strategies to manage anxiety which might help alleviate your pain.

I'm dealing with a lot of farting and a bad smell in my poop ever since I started taking some prescribed tablets like Rifagut 400 and Pre Pro IBS. Can you advise me on how to stop this?
I am suspecting irritable bowel syndrome which is very common problem and very treatable. However a detailed evaluation is needed for proper diagnosis and treatment
