Hi

For how many hours you have hiccups?

Do you have pain in chest?

Did this happen after eating or emotional changes?

Have you taken any medication?

No, chest pain.

It can happen through out the day. I have been under stress.

No, medication.

Though, when I do feel like I have a hiccup I do get a pain in my back to the left side. Though, it is not a actual back pain.

Well, emotional stress, sudden excitment may cause such symptoms. It occurs due to irritation of vagus nerve. First thing and most important- Avoid stress. avoid alcohol and taking too hot food, avoid spicy meals. When you have have hiccups, then you should - hold breath for 10 seconds, swallow a teaspoon of sugar. Usually it will slowly go away by its own. If not, then take tab metclopramide(reglan) . Also drink cold water at that time.

Hope this helped.
