Does anyone have a problem with hiccups? I get them all the time, not just quiet little ones, but ones that sound like a explosion. There is no specific time like after eating or drinking, it's just random. They are annoying and they hurt. Any ideas??

You know I don't get them all the time but I do get them once in a while and people at work laugh at me because they can be heard around the office. I don't know what to do about them but I'm the same way I get them for no reason at all.

Pam,

I get them quite frequently too and Kelly said it was because I was swallowing too much air.. along with the burps that refuse to cease!! LOL

I just drink too fast and probably swallow a bit of air with them. I thought hiccups were from a lack of O2 but I guess not.. LOL

Either way I am sorry yours hurt.. hope it gets better soon.. hope someone has some great advice for you.. sorry it isn't me.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

I've always been a hiccuper (the hard, noisy, body shattering ones). Usually I get them if I stand up too fast or move the wrong way (don't ask me what that is, only my body seems to know). The first ones after surgery do hurt, but not as much as my first sneeze. When I get them, I just hold my breath as much as I can. Try your incentive spirometer. Maybe doing those exercises will help cure them. Anything is worth a try. hee hee
