Have you ever had hiccups with or after chemotherapy?

My husband was also on Dexamethasone. I always felt like it had something to do with the steroids because the side effects were horrendous to the point that he stopped taking it. He got huge pustules & boils on his face & neck. He swelled so much. He still had the hiccups even after he stopped taking the steroids. They left so many permanent, lasting effects, even when the side effects were not as bad as when he was taking steroids.

I am coming up to a year since last chemo on my 84 th birthday. The hiccups, from seeing everyone’s comments seem like chemo drugs are often different.
Steroids seem like the only common thread however mine did not occur until after last chemo session
So am perplexed as to actual cause. Have tried a lot home remedy but no luck. Finally got back to 45 minute daily walks it is really helping to regain my physical strength will get back to golfing this summer hopefully
I hope hiccups will be gone by then. Always hopeful
Best to everyone

Sorry to hear his passing
Like you say side affects are terrible
I always felt that the steroids were worse than the chemo
No luck with my hiccups yet but last episode was the easiest yet only lasted 1 1/2 days a new record good for a week off til next time
