Hiccups?

In the past couple of years or so I've had hiccups so often its crazy. I hold my breath and they stop pretty quickly but some days I've had them over and over. Today has been a good day, only 14 times so far, some days it's 5 or 6 times an hour. I have a bit of nausea pretty much all the time and when I get them I feel like I might throw up.

Anybody else dealing with this? Or am I just lucky again...

    Try swallowing a teaspon of peanut butter.  That always works for me.

    Bummer

    That is just so hard to deal with but think a lot has to do with treatment.  Mine weren't very often at all like yours but still got them and they got to be pretty hard at times.  Tell your doctor and ask what they suggest.  Not even a scare would stop mine.  Hope you can find a solution.

    My husband got them from the chemo

    they gave him baclofen, it worked ok. Didn’t stop them completely but they came less often. Worth a try for you.

    They're just really annoying

    They're just really annoying and when I already feel sick they scare me in case they make me throw up. I'll wake up in the middle of the night and get them. I can't hold a conversaton long before they start up. Grrr.
