A member asked:
Every time i eat spicy food, i get hiccups for about 2 minutes, and then they go away. the spicier the food, the longer the hiccups last. normal?

Not normal, but...: This is not normal, but also not a medical emergency per se. You apparently have a strange allergic reaction that affects your phrenic nerve when eating spicy foods, thus causing hiccups. I would avoid the spicy foods.
