How long did you have hiccups? Submit Your Comment
I get hiccups more often than others in my family. The only thing that has consistently and dependably cured them is a spoonful of creamy peanut butter. It has worked every single time.
Since 7 days I have been suffering from hiccups. It disturbs my eating and sleeping, and I can't speak continuously.
I had hiccups as I woke up this morning. While talking they stopped, to resume when I was silent. When I got home in the evening I took a sip of ginger ale. They then stopped. I just did it because I was thirsty.
I am 24 year old female, weighing 54 kg. I have always had hiccups while eating rice, especially hot rice, and eating chilies, like peri-peri or Asian pakoras filled with green chili. I also hiccup when I eat stale bread or chapatti. Usually my hiccups last twenty minutes and fade themselves. Their frequency falls as I drink water while taking above mentioned meals.
I've had hiccups on and off for 10 years. When they start they last for 2 to 3 days. I found some remedies on line, so will try them. They make me extremely unwell and drive me mad. I tried many tablets but none have worked.
I am 37 and I have had hiccups every day since I was 12. I have only had about 6 hours that I haven't been hiccupping since it started. I have tried everything, such as eating glass, mashing potatoes with my fist and a spoon in my pocket and also.
I am suffering from hiccups for 24 hours and I am also suffering for chronic diabetes.
I first had persistent hiccups for three days during my student days (31 year ago). The university doctor told me to breathe my own breath by exhaling and inhaling in a paper or plastic bag. It worked. I had persistent hiccups again last week for 6 straight days. After using the plastic bag treatment, the hiccups stopped only for 5 to 10 minutes. I went to the doctor. I was given some medicines via IV. It made me so dizzy I couldn't even sit. I had to lie in bed and fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning, the hiccups were gone. Now, I have hiccups again. It's the second day. It's difficult getting sleep. It disrupts my speech. It's embarrassing especially when explaining/talking in front of my class. I'm going back to the doctor this evening.
I had several bouts of hiccups lasting 6 to 7 days each time. I woke in the morning and no hiccups until I stood up. Probable cause was different anti-depressants I was trying at the time. As a side point, baclofen is also used to treat hiccups (at least in Europe where I was living at the time).
I had the hiccups for two weeks. After two doctor appointments and a visit to urgent care I was prescribed chlorpromazine. After five days they are finally gone!
I have had the hiccups for three weeks. I had a surgery before the hiccups started but I can't get rid of them.
I have had hiccups every day for most of my 75 years.
My hiccups last 3 days or more, I have seen a doctor and they prescribed some medication. I don't know the name at this moment, but the pill is very strong and I only can take it at night.
I've had the hiccups about five times yesterday and twice today.
I have had hiccups on and off all day.
I regularly got hiccoughs all my life and I tried all the suggested methods like drinking from opposite side of glass with arms raised high, fingers in ears, etc. I met my Indonesian husband and he just said to put on a jumper (sweater). It worked and works every time. I was a teacher and it worked every time a kid in my care had hiccoughs (hiccups). I have used other warm clothing but putting it over head seems to work best.
Eat dry saltines or pretzels without drinking anything until they stop. Swallow them hard, it relaxes the diaphragm and stops the hiccups.
I have been having hiccups every day since January 2014.
I had hiccups for 7 days in 80s. I then had it in 2009 for 12 days.
I have had hiccups for over 50 years. My father has the same condition.
I have had hiccups for three days now.
My step dad had hiccups for over two years, we tried all kind of treatment but is still disturbing him.
going on 5 days............. :(
I have had hiccups for more than two days now!
I've had the hiccups for four months, and my doctor says that it's stress related. I take amitriptyline three times a day and it doesn't work. I'm starting to think I'll be stuck with them for the rest of my life.
