People experience bouts of hiccups that can be troublesome as well as embarrassing. Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, which is a large muscle that aids in breathing, begins to involuntarily spasm. When a spasm occurs, it makes you inhale suddenly and your vocal cords instantly shut. This results in an unusual sound. So, it’s essential to know how to stop hiccups rather than wait for it to end. Usually, hiccups do not last for more than 5-10 minutes, but they can sometimes interfere with talking or eating. There are several effective ways to get rid of hiccups. Yet, if hiccups last for more than 48 hours, seek a doctor’s help because there may be an underlying condition which may require treatment. Here are some general tips on how to stop hiccups. Breathing and Posture Techniques Such techniques can be really helpful to stop hiccups.

• Perform slow and measured breathing Slow and measured breathing can relax your diaphragm. Breathe in and breathe out to a count of five. This is a good start for those who don't know how to stop hiccups.
• Hold your breath Inhale a substantial amount of air and hold it for 10-20 seconds. Exhale slowly.
• Hug your knees Sit down and bring your knees close to the chest. Hug them tightly for 3-4 minutes before releasing them.
• Compress your chest Bend in the forward direction to compress your chest and exert pressure on the diaphragm.

Pressure Points Simply pressing a few pressure points with your hands can help to relax the diaphragm.

• Squeeze your palm Apply gentle pressure on one palm with the thumb of the other hand.
• Pull out your tongue This can help in stimulating your throat muscles.
• Put pressure on your diaphragm Gently apply pressure on the area between your lungs and the abdomen with your hands.

Things to Eat or Drink

• Drink ice cold water Slowly sipping ice-cold water can help you get rid of hiccups.
• Eat sugar or suck sugar cubes Put a small pinch of sugar on your tongue and let it sit for 10 seconds.
• Suck on a lemon Slowly suck on a lemon. Remember to rinse your mouth to safeguard your teeth from citric acid.
• Eat honey or peanut butter Consume a spoon of either honey or peanut butter, letting it dissolve in your mouth.

The above suggest some ways of how to stop hiccups. However, if you get hiccups frequently or long-lasting ones, chances of underlying conditions such as stroke, gastroesophageal reflux or multiple sclerosis arise. Therefore, consult a doctor immediately.

Pulmonary embolism is condition which causes blockage in one of the pulmonary arteries of your lungs. It is caused by blood clots that travel to the lungs from legs or on rare occasions, from other parts of the body. It is a direct effect of DVT, or Deep Vein Thrombosis. The blood clots so formed by DVT blocks the blood flow to the lungs, which can be life threatening. The symptoms of pulmonary embolism can vary greatly. It depends on the involvement of lungs, the size of the clots, and whether the person has an underlying lung or heart disease. Some of the common signs and symptoms of pulmonary embolism include:

• Shortness of breath: This symptom typically appears suddenly and can get worse with exertion.
• Chest pain: People experiencing this may feel like they are having a heart attack. Breathing deeply may become more painful and it may turn worse with coughing, eating, bending or even stooping for that matter.
• Cough: The cough may contain bloody or blood-streaked sputum.

Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism include leg pain or swelling, or both, usually in the calf, cyanosis or discoloration of skin, fever, excessive sweating, irregular heartbeat, light-headedness or dizziness. The causes of pulmonary embolism can vary. It occurs when a clump, which is most often a blood clot, gets wedged into an artery of the lungs. The blood clots so formed mostly originate from the deep veins of the legs. This condition is known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). In most of the cases, there are multiple clots involved but not necessarily all at once. The portions of the lungs get blocked due to stoppage of blood supply to those areas, which as a result make that portions of the lungs dysfunctional. This is known as pulmonary infarction. This condition makes it more difficult for the lungs to provide oxygen to the rest of your body. Occasionally, blockages in the blood vessels are caused by substances other than blood clots, such as fat from the bone marrow, collagen or other tissue, a part of tumor, or even air bubbles can cause DVT and ultimately pulmonary embolism.

Procuring a loan whilst having bad credit can be a nightmarish experience. To avoid the unpleasantness, it is imperative to choose a lender who is transparent about fees and rates, has flexible terms and will consider you as more than just a credit score. The things to stay clear off are predatory lenders, scams which have the potential to pull you into a vortex of debt. One of the contributing factors to a bad credit score is having excessive debt and other bad financial habits. There are many reasons as to why one avails a loan, but one unexpected benefit is to improve your credit score (upon adhering to the repayment terms and guidelines). Traditional lenders may reject your loan application if you have a history of missed payments. What does bad credit mean to lenders: Banks perceive you as unable to repay the loan As a means to diminish their risk, you might be slated for a lower amount of loan eligibility More collateral might be expected from a borrower with bad credit to be eligible The interest rates offered are higher than those with average and above credit Most traditional lenders do not consider loan applications of a certain credit score and below The qualifications required to avail a personal loan, in spite of bad credit, is quite simple. It requires that you are a legal US citizen of age 18 and above, basic information such as work and residential contact address and bank account details. As an alternative to personal loans, unsecured online loans are designed to help you with short-term financial assistance. The lenders offering these loans do not require you to have a perfect credit score. Some features are fast approval and funding, large lender network, and the loan can be used for any purpose. Other than having a bad credit, the APR deciding factors are many the lender, which state you live in, age, income, having a valid checking account, duration of the loan, late payment penalties, loan renewal actions and various other factors. APR's also vary based on the information provided by you on the application. APR and the finance charge are not one and the same. The latter will be disclosed later on in the loan request process. Before agreeing to a loan, especially a bad credit personal loan, please review the information provided by the lender ( information on loan details, APR, loan term, fees, penalties). Always shop around for the loan that best fits you and your pocket.
