have had hiccups x 6years. doctors laugh at me. have had brain scanned, gallbladder removed, 24 hr ph study for GERD, acupuncture, massage, chiropraction, medication for epilepsy for so called seizure of the diaphragm....no results....i am wondering if anyone has any clues for me to diagnose my hiccups...also have chronic back pain, joint pain on/off, migraines, asthma, IBS, father hx of MS (died 1986) the hiccups exhaust me, and hurt at times. I have them the minute i wake until i lie flat for bed...seem to be triggered by stress, empty or full stomach, nervousness, food or drink passing down my esphogus....most everything...nearly 50-100's a day.....oh i have tired the old wise tricks too...ginger, hold your breath...etc.....any ideas?
