I have created this blog in an effort to help others find a cure for persistent hiccups which have lasted longer than 48 hours, and in most cases for several days.
This blog documents my experience with a severe bout of persistent hiccups that lasted 7 days, and what was finally done to cure them.
When I woke up I felt up I felt sleepy and disoriented.
The Chlorpromazine had really zonked me out, in combination with the fact that I had not slept well for the past few nights. I sat up in bed and took a sip of water and the first thing I noticed was… my hiccups were gone.
Now this may seem like I am jumping the gun, but I could tell something was different. You see my hiccups had been so bad that every morning when I woke up I was already hiccupping. In fact sometimes it was the sound of my own hiccups that would wake me up in the morning.
I was so happy, I was actually in disbelief. I just laid there in bed expecting them to come back. I tried not to think about it too much because of how much power the mind seems to have over health related conditions, but it was hard not to think about it.
After 7 days of extreme agony, discomfort, lack or sleep and food, and several trips to the hospital and Urgent Care my hiccups had finally been cured.
