Is the sollozo dangerous?

Baso bete ur hotz edateak zotina kentzen lagundu dezake.
Baso bete ur hotz edateak zotina kentzen lagundu dezake.

From children, almost since we're in the mother's womb to death, many or few, we all have the sobs. Sometimes they last little, other times longer, and we often run the risk that we get ridiculous when we're among people, because it's uncontrollable.

Apparently, the sollozo is something inherited from our ancestors, a memory of the branchial respiration of fish or the frogs' respiratory system. Today, it's a signal sent by the brain to defend the esophagus. In most cases it occurs when you have a high acidity or ulcer or similar in your stomach.

According to doctors, the sobs are not severe, but there may be signs of distress if they are prolonged over time and become chronic, that is, if they are prolonged for more than two days.

In any case, the sobs are almost always uncomfortable, but there are some actions that can help the appearance of the sob: drinking a glass of cold water slowly, filling the lungs and keeping them for a few seconds without releasing the air or slowing the respiratory rate for a minute.

The medical voice

What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]

Ismael Cerón. Making labels more flexible
