Guest guest Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I have a question for the group, my dad like me has RA, he has recently started plaquenil, i think about a month ago, so now hes had the hiccups since monday and he is in a terrible state, he has them even while sleeping and they are causing him a lot of pain and discomfort He went to the doc on Tuesday who took some blood but advised the only tablets that would help were also used to treat schizophrenia, and as my dad had a heart attack last year they were reluctant to give him them. He had to go back to the docs today and they agreed to give him the pills now, they have some bloods back and said there were a few changes but nothing major. Now my dad has this happen years ago and he had the hiccups for 10 days that time, my mum seems to think it may be the plaquenil as she said he got put on it years ago and she cant remember why it was stopped but she has her suspicions it was because of the hiccups Does anybody know of, or has anybody experienced such side effects from plaquenil? Also does anybody know any cures for the hiccups? he has tried bicarbonate of soda, vinegar, lemon and ginger tea, drinking from the other side of the glass all to know avail Thanks Sharon xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
