Are hiccups a sign of Covid-19? Here is what happened in this case:
. Hiccups for a few minutes may be OK and even entertaining to others. However, hiccups for four days is something completely different. In fact, once a bout of hiccups has reached the two day- or 48 hour-mark, it’s time to seek medical attention. Don’t keep trying to scare yourself, breath into a paper bag, or hold your breath. Holding your breath for two straight days may actually take care of your hiccups but not in the way that you’d like. You kind of need oxygen to stay conscious and alive.
A CT scan of his chest confirmed the chest X-ray findings. So perhaps the inflammation in the lungs had triggered the hiccups. Blood tests showed that his white blood cell count, platelet count, sodium levels, and chloride levels were all low. Since something called the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic is going on right now , the doctors decided to test him for the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 as well and admitted him to the Covid-19 medical unit in the meantime as a precaution.
Of note, the case report didn’t say why the man had lost weight. Since it had occurred over a four month period, the Covid-19 coronavirus probably wan’t the culprit.
