Author Topic: Fourth Straight Day of Hiccups (Read 10917 times)

I’m on my fourth day straight of hiccups. The only time they stop is when I eat and when I lay on my stomach. I was using voice to text while driving today an I thought Siri was going to slap the shit out of me. This seriously sucks.

google told me that 'hiccups can be a sign of kidney failure, pneumonia, lung tumors, digestion problems and heart attack'

You mean 5grms per week is too much? 🙄

As a kid sugar water always got rid of hiccups, unless it was a placebo effect

Joe, I had that problem 4 or 5 times in the last 15 years. Came out of nowhere. Same thing. After eating ok, and laying down eventually.

Went to a specialist and there was nothing they could pin down. It just took time. Xanax will help or a few drinks like Amaretto always helped me in the evening..

At this point I’m just laying down on my stomach and after a while it goes away, but as soon as I’m up and about they’re back. Appreciate everyone advice on this though.

Years ago (for about an 8-year period) I used to get the hiccups for two or so days as a precursor
to the flu or a bad cold. It went away but was just awful, so I can relate.

Lucky, I haven’t had a cold or flu for about 2 years which might be a little unusual since I’m around high schoolers most of the day. Just some sniffles here and there.

But I’m due even though I’m resigning at the end of the season

Breathe through a plastic bag for like 5 mins and see if that makes it go away or try taking a large dose of vanadyl sulfate [not sure how it counter acts with other rx].
