Steph we have something in common! Ever since i had my tonisls removed when i was kid when i get hic cups i burp and be sick!

When i met my bf, the first time it happened in front of him was when we were out so thought i was just drunk but i explained to him he didnt believe me! He does now! But it happens when i drink fizzy juice and alcohol regardless how fast or slow i drink them, sooo horrible! I get really embrassed aswell. Esp when your out and you can't stop it, people presume you are rude!

aw the worst is when i go to mcdonalds or something and i get a meal with a fizzy drink. i go to eat and then take a sip of the cold fizz and immediately get the hardcore hiccups!!! puts me off my food and i'm usually almost sick or sick.

My brother in law( well ex now that i'm divorced) had and prolly still has the hiccups. They think it's down to stress and something neurological, or even possibly something to do with nerve damage! Very strange they had him on anti-psychotics and all sorts of meds to try to get him to stop with no luck. they come and go and sometimes he said they were so bad he couldn't eat or sleep properly. I can't imagine. When i get the hiccups i get them really strong and they make me burp and sometimes vomit in my mouth. it's very unpleasant they used to be worse when i was singing more and my diaphragm was stronger.

i know i couldn't believe it when i heard that! He was saying that he told his doctor at the start of the hiccups that wht he thought it was but doctor didn't believe him. Just such an interesting story!
