A member asked:
My husband has had the hiccups for 10 hours, one every 2-7 seconds. what is causing this and is it dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cause unclear: Intractable hiccups can have several causes, some of them are not problematic and others are. It is worth it to take him to go see someone and get evaluated, as the more serious problems can be fatal if untreated. It is probably nothing... But it might also be a serious problem.
