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.
Weird the same thing happened to me, and around the same time as well. They gave me zantiac which i thought was weird.
My husband has had hiccups for over four years…He will have them all day and all night…..Sometimes if he drinks ice cold water they will stop for awhile or several hours….This can go on for several days and all of a sudden they may stop for a couple of days…The hiccups gets so bad that he chokes and vomits…He has been to several doctors but none have been able to help him.
