Suggest Remedy For Chronic Hiccups

My husband has been having chronic hiccups at different intervals for about a year now. I can give him Thorazine and he will go to sleep but sometimes he hiccups in his sleep. This has become a nerve-raking experience for him and we have tried everything. Sometimes some of the remedies will help but they come right back and last for days at a time. Can you tell me what the problem might be?
