Four Days of Persistent Hiccuping with no Rest

The next day was mellow for the most part. I was still in pain and suffering from Acid Reflux along with my hiccups but because there was almost nothing in my stomach I didn’t feel as through the Acid Reflux was as bad as it was the night before. I had been living on Carnation Instant Breakfast shakes for the past few days which also seemed to help with the Acid Reflux as my system didn’t need to work so hard to process the food.

Saturday came and went. I still suffered from eventual gagging and wrenching as the night went on. I am hesitant to use the word “vomit” because my body never really rejected any food. It was as through something was stuck in my throat forcing me to throw up little bits of stomach acid and bile.

ER Checkup from Persistent Hiccups Causing Gagging & Choking

At about 9pm on Friday night I started gagging, and wrenching. An entire day of hiccups and now almost constant Acid Reflux had caused me to start dry heaving, and trying to throw up. At points I would actually vomit stomach acid, but no food. It was pretty much like I was just throwing up small amounts of water, although it tasted like stomach acid.

After about 3 hours or gagging my fiancée decided it was time for me to go to the emergency room. It was 12am and the hospital was the only medical office open. I agreed and we went to the ER to get my checked out for my hiccups.

I was checked out very promptly because of the chest pains I was experiencing. Medical offices seem pretty good about addressing chest pains in an expedited manner. This is because they need to rule out whether a person is suffering from gastro intestine problems or cardiac problems.
