A member asked:

Why can't i stop hiccuping?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Find cause: Continuous hiccuping can be due to anything from disease irritating the diaphragm to a medication side effect to a goiter pressing on the phrenic nerve to neurologic disease. I am going to assume you are not an uncontrolled diabetic or in kidney failure. A physician's office visit is in order.
