I accidentally found a great cure for hiccups. Just get a spoon full of sugar and let it melt on the tongue for 20 seconds then slowly drink some water and let the sugar melt. It helps me such. I hope this works for your husband as well. God bless yall

Vherzog777, oh I'm sorry to hear that your husband has developed hiccups related to chemotherapy. This doesn't happen to everyone, but when it does, it can be really bothersome and have serious discomfort. I moved your message to this existing discussion where others are talking about hiccups related to chemotherapy so you can connect with @susu2 @auntieoakley @becsbuddy @richcolleen @merpreb @mdcjb @susan2018 @packgb19 @dax @anacreon who have also had this experience.

Vherzog, what kind of chemotherapy is your husband getting? Have the hiccups settled? And most importantly has he been able to eat?

I have taken much chemo, and have had many hiccups. I understand the hurting from violent hiccups all night. I hope this is a temporary thing for him. I found that holding my breath and slowly drinking a big glass of water will often make them stop for a while. Has your husband tried any of the home remedies?

@vherzog777 Hiccups are no fun even though we all start laughing when someone gets them. And, boy, did i get hiccups. I don’t know which of all my medications started them. I always got them at dinner time. And i still get them occasionally, even though I’m not on chemo or monoclonal antibodies now, I don’t have any special remedies to suggest, sorry. Tell your husband that were all silently rooting for him!
