To many orals for to long

To many orals for to long can give me chronic hiccups.

When I used to take orals, I don't anymore, with lots of other supplements, in pill form, it would some how over load my system and I would hiccup night and day. It used to be very irritating.

I would have to stop "everything". Nothing in my mouth but small amounts of food several times a day and lots of water. Then I would would use standard anti-hiccup techniques. Gulping air till you almost explode, hold for 20 seconds extra.

Hope this helps

That happened to me before and every time I ate I would hiccup and then puke up whatever I ate. My pharmacist friend gave me a couple Xanax and they were gone.

The hiccups can occur from having a little too much acid in the stomach from my experience (orals can cause this). Somehow, a bubble of air will get caught at the top because of it which will cause you to hiccup. I was having some chronic hiccups myself, but I noticed I also had some heartburn/sour stomach accompanying it (perhaps this is the case with you, too?). Doc said to use some OTC omeprazole (prilosec), and after about a couple of weeks of using it, the hiccups stopped along with the heartburn and sour stomach.

Definitely see a doctor though.
