Singulation is the dysfunction of exhalation arising as a result of convulsive reductions of a diaphragm like short heavy spontaneous respiratory movements. Sharp jerky reductions of a diaphragm lead to a sudden change of thorax volume, lungs fill the formed volume, stretching and provoking a convulsive breath. The sudden movement of air in a mucous throat irritates the nervous terminations. Singulation looks like the repeating short and heavy respiratory movements reminding convulsive whimpers.
Singulation is a very unpleasant phenomenon of an unpredictable and spontaneous nature. It can quite often arise at the most inopportune moment. An incidental or short-term singulation arises suddenly, lasts 10 – 15 minutes and also suddenly stops. A Long time frame of its continuation is every day for several weeks. Sometimes, it can proceed for hours and even days.
Singulation is not a painless occasion but a little bit uncomfortable. But it turns out singulation may be a symptom of some digestive system disorder including severe ones. In case if this disorder doesn’t disappear after 5-15 minutes, it is better to take drugs to normalize and take under control the digestive system. Such drugs may be ordered on the Internet. The pharmaceutists are qualified enough to help you in any case
