A member asked:

I have been hiccuping once every hour my whole life. doctor said stop chewing gum, but that's not it. what can i do to cure it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neurologist : Something is not right. I would get a second opinion and ask for a referral to a neurologist. You should not have to live with hiccups. Best of luck!
