Suggest Home Remedies For Hiccups

Hello, I have a history of diagram & thoracic endometriosis. When in a flare I often get hiccups that kill! My phrenic nerve is hurting on my neck & shoulder. I suspect this is connected to the hiccups. Can you recommend a home remedy? I ve tried holding my breath, drinking water fast, sugar, honey & now peanut butter.. They are so painful I appreciate any input. TIA - Cori

Hi,

Go to the ER. Sometimes non-responding hiccups can signify serious electrolyte imbalance and a drip can correct them.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
