Hi,
Loss of appetite is a very common complaint, after use of ATT. Similarly hiccups, though not very common, still may be present in many patients. Usually these symptoms are transient and may go by themselves. As in your case, all your hematological as well as bio-chemical parameters are in normal range, we do not think it to be a matter of concern for you. However, if the symptoms still persist or there is a loss in your weight, then you are advised to undergo for your liver and kidney function test and treatment accordingly under guidance of your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
