What Causes Hiccups While On Fioricet?
Question: I was diagnosed with a tension headache yesterday wit BP 172/104; went centra care, I received two shots in the butt one for pain and the other I believe to bring down the pressure. The Dr gave me Fioricet for my BP it was50-300-40mg. I took two this morning thing since it was my first time taking it it should be ok. About 1 and 1/2 hrs later I have hiccups. I would drink something warm and they would stop for awhile but to only start up again. It's after 12 midnight and 8 want to sleep what do I do?
Brief Answer:
Try these remedies.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your query and understand your concerns.
Hiccups seems to be caused by Fioricet use.
You should try some remedies first such holding breath, breathing in a paper bag, gasping, pulling knees up to chest and leaning forward.
If this fails to stop hiccups, metoclopramide use should be discussed.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
