A member asked:
Why do i get hiccups whenever i eat? even after only a few bites of food. they stop after eating but make eating uncomfortable.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hiccups: Your symptoms are suggesting diaphragm irritation through possible esophageal distension. Would suggest taking really small first bites, give it a good chew effort, 1-2 sips of water, swallow and wait few seconds, then go for the next bite. This way you will avoid forming a large bolus in your distal esophagus. Timing is critical.
