Hiccups on and off all day long. is this a cause for concern?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Only if it: Never stops. You have some irritation of the diaphragm. Try any of the old fold remedies like holding your breath. If they persist, there is medication which can usually stop them, but it's rarely needed.
