I've had hiccups on and off for the past week. i looked up remedies and then saw some of the causes of long term hiccups. should i be worried?

Not yet.: You should not worry too much. It is rare that hiccups are due to anything serious. Unless hiccups become progressively more frequent or fail to resolve after another few weeks I would just ride them out.
