Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear common causes for hiccups are acute gastritis or gerd or pleral effusion or renal failure or respiratory failure.
Probably gerd is the cause for your problem. take tab. nexium before breakfast for one week. Tab. lioresol 10mg twice for five days. Avoid spicy food and alcohol, avoid smoking. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care
