Re: Hannah's Horrible Hiccups

[Guest guest]

Hey Hannah,

I have just been wondering about sending a note about the same thing.

For the last couple of days I've had hiccups, coughing attacks and

burping for no real reason.

I don't develop a headache from them, however it does seem to make it a

little stronger if the hiccups are strong. I have also noticed that it's

a somewhat positional problem with the burping.

When I lean forward or stoop for some reason I'll have a fullness

sensation in my throat and then I'll burp.

The cough comes on for no reason other than I feel a very light tickle

in my throat. Then I cough and it doesn't seem to want to stop, but then

goes away.

So I'm not the only one experiencing this strange side effect. I was

wondering if this was some how related to swallowing problem?

In looking up hiccups I came across a site that discussed their origin:

" A hiccup is a neurological reflex, which involves the phrenic or vagus

nerves and the medulla of the brain. "

It makes sense that if we have compression of that area, we are more prone to

hiccups. When my pressure is elevated (prior to shunt revision), I had a ton

of hiccups. They'd give me a headache.....

When my husband had decompression surgery in January he developed a case of

almost constant hiccups. The nurse told us it was the steroids and, sure

enough, when the steroids stopped, the hiccups stopped. Just wanted to let

all the pre-surgery members know not to be concerned post-surgery if this

happened to them.

Re: Hannah's Horrible Hiccups

After my surgery in August 2000 for a subarrachnoid shunt, I had

horrible, unrelenting hiccups for several days. I was told it was due

to the swelling and trauma in the brain. They offered me the

medication Thorazine- besides being an antipsychotic medication, it

can be used for horrible hiccups. I decided to stick it out and see

if it went away on its own. It did eventually.
