A member asked:
Every month or 2 months, i get a hiccup that lasts for 3-5 hours, why? i only get that kind of hiccup once a month or 2.. is it normal?

Very normal: Hiccups are common and not generally a sign of any medical problem. They may be triggered by eating too fast, emotional distress, alcohol, smoking, spicy food. It is not unusual for them to come in bouts like what you are describing and there are thousands of home remedies to resolve them but not one I know of that is superior.
