Hi, Welcome to HCM, Many conditions are associated with hiccups, but none has been shown to be the cause of hiccups. If a person eats too fast, he or she can swallow air along with food and end up with the hiccups. Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (alcohol or carbonated drinks) can make a person prone to having hiccups..emotions, such as stress, fear or excitement can also cause.. There are a number of things you can try yourself initially that may help to stop your hiccups. These include: sipping ice-cold water holding your breath for a short period biting on a lemon swallowing granulated sugar tasting vinegar breathing into a paper bag (never place a bag over your head) pulling your knees up to your chest leaning forward to compress your chest IF EVERYTHING FAILS... TAKE Chlorpromazine: Oral: 25 to 50 mg 3 to 4 times a day...you will feel better...regards..
