Its more of a random Hiccup that comes and goes about once an hour some times more. No pain except for a sharp intake of air. And no Diarrhea or vomiting though I do go number 2 at least twice a day.

Hello.

Thanks for your query.

Random hiccups are mainly caused by irritation of the diaphragm either due to nervous irritation or due to excessive eating causing excessive stomach dilatation. It is a harmless thing and you need not worry about it.

A hiccup once in a while if it is not disturbing you is just like an exercise of your respiratory muscle diaphragm.

Hope I have answered your query. I will be available if you have any further queries.

Regards
