Hiccups

Hello Everyone, I have never created a post here. I've been more of a lurker (I know there's a lot of you out there too) I find myself getting the hiccups very often now. Many times I find myself hiccuping and belching at the same time. It is uncontrolable, and often embarassing! Tonight, before I ate supper I had them really bad - and they were VERY loud! My son couldn't believe how loud they were. Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone know why we might get them more often now? Thank you, Maura (down 56 lbs since surgery)

I get hiccups and little burps but that is ONLY when I overeat. It sounds like you are doing that before you eat? Dunno about that !

I get hiccups when I'm hungry and when I'm full. I asked my Dr about it and he said when you're full it's something about a nerve is being hit that causes it but he said he had no idea why I get them when I'm hungry. Before surgery I always got them when I was real real hungry now anytime I'm hungry and full. Weird and annoying isn't it?! Janice

Maura I used to get hiccups ALL the time prior to surgery...now I only get them occassionally I asked my PCP and he said that before I was breathing through my mouth and intaking alot of air...that is why I had them before...now (I have gone to breathing classes) I am breathing through my nose and the air is going to my lungs and not my stomach...so less frequent hiccups Dont know if I believe this...but it works for me!

I get them if I eat too fast or don't chew well.
