A member asked:

Have had hiccups everyday for 8 mos, 120-170 a day. have headaches everyday for 3 yrs, can they be connected? a chiari malformation is possible for me

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A lot: That's a lot of hiccups. I would suggest you talk with your doc about an MRI scan of the brain. But even if you have a chiari, don't automatically assume it is the cause; minor amounts of chiari are extremely common, and typically don't cause problems.
