Five Days of Hiccups & a Decision about a Hospital Checkup

Sunday was pretty unproductive. My hiccups still hadn’t gone away and I was suffering from severe chest pains and Acid Reflux throughout the day.

That night was a repeat of Friday night, although this time I decided to not go to the ER. I just didn’t want to be poked full of needles again in some uncomfortable place that wasn’t going to help my problem.

I opted for staying home instead which lead to a long night of wrenching and choking from about 9pm until 5am the next morning. I was so worn down from the night’s ordeal that when I finally passed out I didn’t want to wake up.

Unfortunately (and fortunately) my fiancée wanted me to go to Urgent Care. The reason it was fortunate is because we felt as though they could help. The reason it was unfortunate is because I do not have a regular doctor (since I am usually very healthy) and in our city there is a 4 month wait to get in to see a doctor.

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.
