Dear sir, the reason for your Persistent hiccup, Excessive drooling/regurgitation, Feel very weak and loss of balance. Some shaking/trembling, is mainly due to uraemia ( accumulation of waste products in the body ) and electrolyte/ minerals/ ions imbalance as your kidney is damaged. But exactly i dont know in what stage of kidney failure you are in. Better to consult the nearest nephrologist.
