Have you ever had hiccups with or after chemotherapy?

Took as needed. Found idea on internet. Hiccups never mild. Had same problem with belching which continues to this day. Both occur when eating very spicy food which I love. Never had nausea during awful treatments like many do and always ate my favorites. Enjoying food has helped me deal with the many side effects treatments caused mainly neuropathy. Bottom line everyone reacts differently to cancer and there is no cookie cutter answer when one looks for an answer to why me or did this happen to anyone else? I spend time on these blogs to help others with my experience that may make their journey easier.

@nodunk- I did not mean to sound flippant about your choice of self-medicating. I am sorry if this upset you. And on behalf of Connect, we thank you for your support. Surviving cancer patients are a gold piece to giving hope and support to those who struggle with it.
Did belching start with your taking apple cider vinegar? When I had chemo for my lung cancer I lost my taste for food so I began eating spicier food. This did not carry over when chemo came to an end.
My hiccups began after I had SBRT, a special type of radiation.
I look forward to reading more of your supportive posts.
