A member asked:

I get hiccups everyday, randomly, not like where you get them in a row, just one random one, throughout the day for about 2 and a half months, why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: It unknown why people get hiccups. There is no sure way to stop hiccups, although people try techniques such as: drinking water, holding one's breath, getting scared, putting sugar on the tongue, etc... Medication is tried in non-stop cases that interfere with one's life. A doctor can evaluate for disorders that can be irritating the diaphragm's nerves or otherwise be bothering the diaphragm.
