Its embarrassing, I work in a call center!
.... Help. =/
Sometimes they get violent and the hiccup hurts me.
Damn you random spasms on the diaphram!
Anyways, how did you all find this forum?
Did you all google random hiccups as well?
this past weekend was horrible, i havent hiccuped that much ever!
i too hope im not ruining anything in my body... they never bothered me... but i should do something about it if its not healthy... and i guess i should stop saying "hiccups will be the death of me" cuz now thats scaring me!!
A hiccup is the spasm of the diaphragm, and a friend once told me that maybe I had a problem with my diaphragm, but surely we can't all have a problem!!!
This is weird!!
Where is our cure!?
Is it genetic? Does anyone else's family members get them?

Raise your hand if, after "eeping" people have
1) laughed
2) asked if it was a sneeze
3) made a comment about mice or squirrels
4) asked if you were faking it.
I asked my doctor about it a while ago and even when I told her I would sometimes get them as much as 30 times a day she wasn't concerned. Honestly, I think it might have been related to stress as I definitely eeped more in university and when I'm at work than I do when I'm on vacation. *sigh* still annoying as hell though.
If anybody finds a way to cure them, let me know! They start to hurt after a while.
I don't like that the doctors ignore our pleas for relief or help. They say there's nothing wrong but they don't know how disruptive and frustrating it is. I usually only have one or two at a time like everyone of you, but when I do get "real" hiccups, they are painful and last a long time and I cannot function while they are happening.
Here is a trick to relax your diaphragm. You can do this during a long stint of hiccups or just if your aware enough to feel as though your diaphragm might spasm.
Hold your breath for as long as you can then let it all the way out and hold that until you have to breathe in again. Should work. Good luck!
ahhhh i just want to know WHY haha
but yeah i agree with what someone said up there that they don't actually feel like real hiccups, just sound like a sort of retarded version of them. and i also get them about once an hour. everyday. never fails.
hope this helps-

Hope some one can get answers!
Glad to meet you all. As far as I am aware I have only been suffering from this for a few weeks, but people have started to notice and comment. Usually happens mid-morning. Just one, then nothing. Get the odd random few throughout the day too.
At the moment it is quite funny. Just curious what its all about?
Maybe someone should start a random hicupps facebook group?
Ive heard SO many peoples remedies on how to get rid of hiccups I normally just nod and smile and thank them for the thought anymore. I have given up on explaining it most people figure it out if they are around me long enough. Otherwise im like darn those hiccups and laugh it off.
I have acquired nick names such as ka kahh -_-' Ive been told i sound like a raptor, bird, squiky toy getting run over by a car, dolphin the list goes on. Most people seem to be disturbed by the loud screeching noises i cant help i make and that are sometimes accompanied by body jerking movements i cant help.
In high school I went to a doctor and that was a complete waste of time as all he said was hiccups are a medical mystery and i should sit up straight cause my posture sucked lol.
either way i have gotten used to it and its just a part of me now. Ive joked time and time again that hiccups would be the death of me id hiccup while eating and choke to death or something of the sorts.
It is good to know that im not the only person out there with super obnoxious hiccups.
Ive never really done a whole lot of research on random hiccups as there is nothing out there every time i check. I started looking after watching a man on the new who had chronic hiccups for over a year. now that would suck. Although he cant stop like ever doctors cant help him either! The other day a random customer told me i had an ulcer after i pretty much squawked in his face.
i just have alot to say on the subject.......... like 2 more paragraphs lol
sorry i like to make people read apparently
Or I'll hiccup, someone will laugh, and I'll tell them it's a disease...then they get paranoid for a second and ask if I'm serious or not. Sad thing is, I'm not really sure. My mom has been trying to get me to go to a doctor, but after reading all these posts, I guess I'd just be wasting my time. ...and for the record, I too googled "random hiccups"
I've had random hiccups for about 5 years now and over the years I have pinpointed the probable cause of them. I've noticed that I tend to get one when I walk between rooms or when I go outside so I put them down to slight changes in air temperature. This is the only thing I can think of. I know its completely annoying and it often sounds like I'm gasping for air or squarking like a parrot. Everyone thinks its hilarious but like burps and farts possibly hiccups were put on this earth to make people laugh. I don't mind and have come to live with them even though sometimes they hurt my chest but I guess they're just another quirky thing like being able to roll your tongue or burp the national anthem. My advice to eveyone is to embarce your talent as there doesn't seem to be anything medical to really be worried about. If anyone hears of any developments I'd be happy to hear from you x
Already found a cure?
Kerry, hows the camera in your stomach doing?
I read these random hiccups have something to do with an adnormality with lung inflation, like they're unbalanced when taking in air. The hiccup tries to balance it out... So I've read.
:) Hope this helps everyone!
p.s.
my friend stefanie copies these noises all the time and makes funny of me. she calls me a poopy head.
she's also insane and telling me to write that. if i don't she'll squeeze my face cheeks. D;
I also constantly bring up acid which is another symptom of GERD.
The only problem is that my dad doesn't think I should take medicine for it since "it can mess up your stomach"
If you live in the San Antonio area of Texas you can go to the ENT clinic. Search up Dr. Smith at the ENT clinic in SA Texas. He's an AMAZING doctor. He's helped with my ear problem and he's kid friendly! :) Tell him Ashley reccomended you. :D
Back pain, acid indegestion, and occasionally powerful, random 'hiccup' like convulsions- especially after eating, but also just randomly.
* The key to eliminating this issue is to eliminate as many variables as we can- the best way to do this is by staying healthy. Watch what you eat and EXERCISE. Just stay busy and purposely strain yourself even if you don't like to. Its worth the discomfort or annoyance and you become accustom to such practices and it becomes part of your life.. This is what most people need to be conscious of but unfortunately are not. Could be HH. hiatal hernia. This is where the stomach lining protrudes into the esophagus. Acid indigestion and other problems eat the esophagus away and the stomach lining heals upward. Hiccups could be from this case, as the system freaks out at this alteration of tissue and attempts to reject the viewed problem with the hiccup convulsions. Or GERD, but that is more serious. Acid can cause links to these and possibly the hiccups. Get enough potassium. So many variables, its an unfair pain. I really just recommend keeping your body in motion and practicing strenuous exercises. Believe me its worth it. I will continue to research this issue and I believe it may be hereditary as is the acid problems etc. This is an even larger reason to make sure our bodys stay in tip-top shape while combating this issue so our future children etc do not have to deal with as many hereditary issues. Stop them from spreading by fixing the issues down the line.
Good luck to everybody :)
im just glad to know im not alone! =D
(searched 'random hiccups' yay)
I've been noticing i've been getting random hiccups just recently, and I've been checking it all up right now. Like I think someone else said earlier about backpains which i also notice I get alot of randomly O.o
So does anyone know what that is? GERD? Or what was it? hiatal hernia? Some guy Jason said.
I don't know if it's a problem but if anyone can tell me if it really is something serious.
And i don't think it's acid reflux b/c I haven't had anything citrisy lately. Like on regulsr basis, i don't.
People have said 'go to the doctors'... how silly. I'm not going to the doctors with random hiccups. I think it's just stress/nerves, changes your breathing a bit. I have had problems with excess stomach acid before, but I still get them now.
I'm known for my random hiccups now. Sometimes I do really loud ones in shops & I get right funny looks. I don't care - it's not like I'm letting out wind!!! Wouldn't worry about random hiccups unless you have other problems :)
It can be an embarassing situation as I am a trainer for major oil and gas companies, and I get very odd looks when I do this in front of a client. I hope we get some REAL answers soon! Does anyone even know what type of doctor MAY have the answers?
I am happy to have found you and know that I'm not alone - so happy in fact, I created a support group and would like you to join: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?sid=6450182b3...
I'm only 17, I hope there is a cure
Although its quite.. hmmm whats the word.. I dont really mind it though... :)
WHATS WRONG WITH US?????
Honestly I have been called a dying____(instert any animal here) Raptors, people joke about it being a mating call, and that when I hear another high pitched squeak ill know ive found true love.
People laugh all the time but after a while they just get used to it. I dont think there is anything to worry about though. Honestly some of us have had these hiccups for years and nothing has happened yet. If it was serious then something would have happened to at least one of us by now. I have been muscle tested by a naturopath and was told they are stress related. I have noticed that they are not as frequent when I am on vacation or doing something leisurely. When I am worried about something they get loud and even painful. (I googled random hiccup also) =)
Too bad, because I get them too, since I was about eleven. And they're loud and squaky.
i'm surprised so many people have it without having been told it's acid reflux or something similar. people who hear it tell me all the time it's acid reflux, but i hate having to take medicine everyday so i just live with the 30 daily meeps.
and i've been mistaken for a howler monkey before ^_^ and compared to a velociraptor on multiple occasions
:D
im in highschool and its really embarrasssing but im used to it now and its just a part of me
I googled random hicups and found lots of different answers... some say the hiccups are caused by stress, apparently they are very common in pregnant women..which i'm not lol, some people say that they get them instead of burps, which made me think because i very rarely burp myself.
Sometimes i get one when i'm drinking or eating which hurts lol. People find it funny when i do it and if i do it quite frequently it can be annoying to people!
Glad to know soo many other people have them. I would like to know what causes them though!!
the day. prob about 2-5 a day. and also at least once a week i'll actually get the hiccups. and they are always at different times. its so annoying i wanna know why i get them ):
I finally mentioned it to the Doctor and he doesn't think it's normal and is putting me thru all sorts of tests. From Catscan to MRI/MRA, Endoscopy, and Colonoscopy and has referred my to an ear nose and throat dr.
He believes that it's caused by heartburn I can't feel and that that is the reason for my poor sense of taste as well. That the acid is eating away my taste buds.
He prescribed Prilosec and Reglin. Reglin is only to take when I feel bothered by hiccups in class. Cause they are so loud and attention getting. One class I had 4 and I'm so sick of teacher or other students talking about stepping on mice or a bird in the room!
I never had this problem until about 6 months ago. I almost NEVER got any hiccups. Now I will randomly hiccup about 20 times a day.
I've heard it can be triggered by being full because there is pressure on the nerve that causes the spasm of the diaphragm, or some sort of mass or tumor doing the same. But I could have an empty stomach and still get them. And I seriously doubt we all have tumors. It seems all too popular.
I just wish I knew WHY they started! And how to make them stop. It's getting ridiculous. I don't see how people on here could have lived with them for seven+ years without finding a cure.
my teacher always tells me to say pardon because they think its a burp. my friends dont notice i do it now its become so normal. it doesnt bother me but it would be nice to not have them. my family keep telling me to control it but i dont know when its coming. after reading this they have aplogised. :)
4 years now !
It's kinda funny really.. I seat at work and every once in a while I get a double hiccup and that's it ! One of my co-workers just told me he thinks I'm the only one with this condition...WELL HE WAS WRONG !
Lets all get together and hiccup our brains out !
Nothing i've found says its bad for you or will hurt you though :/
its just as annoying and embarrassing as crap
I can't believe this many people also have it though!
I've had the same problem for about two years and have earned the name "Squeaker" from my friends and family.
I feel like I'm not alone now!
