Hello. I've had hiccups every day for about 5 years now, but not repeatedly; I get them about 5 times, they go away and come back every 2 hours. I have asked my doctor about it before, but she didn't seem to care. Sometimes it hurts and makes it a little hard to breathe when it's more severe. Hello, Thank you for your answer No, my doctor didn't want to continue to answer my questions, so I don't know if there would be a cause for this. The hiccups as such don't bother me, it's more the fact that it's been 5 years now, it's a bit strange

Hello ma'am,

Did your doctor find an underlying cause?

I would like to mention that treatments for persistent hiccups have not been very effective. However, I invite you to discuss this with your pharmacist who may be able to suggest options to your doctor.

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist

Hello,

Thank you for your answer

No, my doctor didn't want to continue to answer my questions, so I don't know if there would be a cause for this.

Indeed, this is rare but can be quite unpleasant for some people.
