What Can Cause Constant Hiccups Along With Burping?

I have a friend who had two strokes. He was recuperating nicely when he suddenly developed constant burping. Today, he is experiencing constant hiccups along with the burping to the point he is gagging. What can I tell his wife so she can help him. She is having a hard time coping with all of this.
