Hiccup Horrors!

[Stephiec79]

Hello friends-
I have always been a hiccup-er! But recently, I get the hiccups every day, sometimes multiple times a day! It is really annoying!! I was just wondering if this pesky problem had anything to do with the chiari and if any of you have this issue?

And, no, the old tricks of scaring it out of me, drinking upside down,  holding my breath, trying to make me think of something else just don't work! LOL!!

  Hi...Hiccups can also be the result of a hiatal hernia..which some of those with Ehlers-Danlos may have ....and some with GERD/acid reflux....so do look into ur digestive health as well...it is related to chiari.

  Avoid drinking soda's...using a straw..see if ne of that helps....

I agree with Stacey u do need to address this with ur dr.

I have read that hiccups can be related to high intra cranial pressures, but they can be caused  by other things like medications or even smoking in the cold, that always gives my boyfriend the hiccups! Lol.  I think you should tell your doctor, but I will see if I can find the information again and I will post a link if I find it.   Hope they clear up soon!
