Suggest Treatment For Hiccups

Good Evening,
My husband has been suffering from hiccup for 3 days now and on going. He tried anything that he could think of but none of them work. He hasn't been eating a proper meal for the past 3 days because of it. At this moment, he is in so much pain in his chest and sweat a lot. Please advice.
Regards,
Mrs Oliver

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain, hiccups and sweating are seen with heart and lung diseases.
So better to take him to hospital and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg and 2d echo to rule out heart diseases.
Get done chest x ray to rule out lung diseases.
If all these are normal then no need to worry much.
Give him cold water to drink.
Beclofen twice Dailey should be started for hiccups.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
