Have you ever had hiccups with or after chemotherapy?

What meds if you do not mind
Wondering if it is my blood pressure med
I have hiccups for two days then nothing for 8 days then it repeats the cycle again and again for past year
Thanks

My husband had the hiccups non-stop to the point that we even talked to his care providers about it hoping to find a solution to bring him some relief. He had Glioblastoma. It was diagnosed at Grade 2, left temporal lobe. Initial treatment was radiation, keppra, steroids, and temozolomide. It progressed to Grade 4 and we opted for a clinical trial. He died before ever completing the initial,full first round of the IV chemo combo. He had hiccups until he died and never got any relief. They drove him crazy & made me feel even more helpless. He had so many different & extreme side effects from everything. He's one of the strongest people I've ever known.

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.

Thank you so much Brandy
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

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

I'm on my fifth round and the hiccups started at the 2nd and are honestly one of the most annoying side effects. They gave Thorazine )anti-psychotic) but I view the cure as worse than the illness in this case. I treat it by sleeping, drinking lukewarm water, and sucking on hard candies as that seems to help momentarily.

Thanks for response
I also found that a little something quieted them for a short time
Pills to lessen them really did nothing
Tried baking sofa, apple vinegar, sugar did nothing
Ice water helps a little.
Gaging and not getting your breath I found the worst but is less frequent now, nine months after last chemo
Reaching for the sky or shouting helps this gaging best for me but wife does not like it
Keep trying hoping for best at least I uasually get a weeks rest between bouts of hiccups which are continuous

Yes, I get hiccups with FOLFOX chemo infusions, all the time. I just complted infusion #10. Hiccups are frequent and a nuisance. I have accepted the side effect as the 'new normal' as long as I am on chemo, every 2 weeks.
