<div style="text-align:justify;">
<p style="text-align:justify;">The chapter deals with the etio-pathogenesis and management of ''hikka'' (hiccups) and ''shwasa'' (dyspnea). The general causative factors include dietary and environmental pathogens and specific pathogenesis is due to involvement of [[vata]] and [[kapha]] as major [[dosha]]. Thus five types of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' are elaborated. The classification is based upon clinical presentation of disease and includes three types each of ''hikka'' and ''shwasa'' with bad prognostic signs pointing to imminent death. The description comprehends basic principles of management focused on removing obstruction of [[kapha]] and allowing proper flow of [[vata]] by means of purification therapies, sudation, nasal errhines, medicated smoking and various formulations. The management emphasizes on nourishment and pacification therapies to successfully treat and prevent ''shwasa'' and ''hikka'' conditions. Depletion therapies are strongly contra-indicated as they may worsen the condition of patient and disease. </p>

In chronic cases of Shwasa internal administration of unctuous substance (snehapana) in pure form or medicates formulation like dashamula ghrita is useful to control [[vata]] [[dosha]]. This reduces dryness (kharatva) of respiratory tract (pranavah srotas) and pacifies movement of [[vata]] (vatanulomana). In chronic stage of svasa, [[vata]] becomes more dominant while in new cases [[Kapha]] dominancy is observed.<ref> Personal email communication by Dr. Mali Pawan, dt. January 03, 2020 </ref>

Drugs prescribed for [[Pandu]], [[Shotha]] and [[Kasa]] may be used in the management of Shwasa(Su.Utt 51/43). Drugs prescribed for [[Kasa]], Kshaya, chhardi and hikka can be used for Shwasa.(A.H.ch.59)
