Default Hiccups

I have been getting the hiccups quite often lately. Don't know what sets them off but they seem to last forever. Then they just stop. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do about it? I'm not thinking they are MS related but who knows?

Sugar is supposed to help stop them most of the time.

I find hiccups come for me when I have "gas" issues. I have a hiatal hernia that comes up thru the diaphram, so pressure sometimes gives me hiccups.

Chronic or recurring hiccups should be evaluated by a doctor, because some liver problems irritate the diaphram. I suppose MS is in that category too with the innervation of the diaphram too.

I only hiccup if I laugh too hard.

I don't want to start any rumors, but are you sure you're not drinking? 8-D

My hubby hiccups whenever he drinks a carbonated drink too fast. He also will hiccup if he eats extra spicy food.
