Hiccups

[petep]

I see scott already posted a thread that had my response in it - so I will not repeat what is in there already...

Just know that this is very common and not out of the ordinary.

I remember when my hiccups started - I'd laugh at how frequent and loud they were....after a few days, it wasn't so funny....but it did pass.

best wishes..

Thanks for the responses, he is on Baclofen, it helps for about 2 hours, then they come back, he's been sooooo sick the past 2 days, that they are just drugging him so he sleeps, therefore no hiccups. so I guess that's good. TGIF is all i have to say.

Baclofen

My husband had it bad. Indiana persribes Baclofen. Hope this helps!

Krista,
I had the hiccups too- on 4xEP.
I took Reglan, which got them under control.
The Dr. told me that Thorazine would also work, and is stronger than Reglan. Incidently, I have a friend who is an OB/GYN, and when I told her that I have hiccups she asked if they prescribed Thorazine. So I guess it's common. Good Luck.

Yes, we've seen that reported before, such as in this thread.

Just wondering if anyone experienced constant hiccups while going through chemo. My brother started with the hiccups at 10am and it's now 6pm and the Rx they gave him for it hasn't helped, it's making him sick to his stomach in addition to being exhausting. He's tried tums also. He went through 4 cycles of BEP never had this now he's on VIP
