Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 What a good question - my girls and I will get the hiccups also - it goes in waves - seems like they will get them for two days straight and then nothing for weeks........interesting...could it be part of a herx? I never really thought about it but I know when I or one of the girls gets them it just takes over for days..............

This is the fourth time today (it's only 1:45) that I've gotten hiccups. I know I just started a whole new slue of medicines this week, but that was only a few days ago, so i'm unsure whether this is something related to Lyme or not. I usually get this way when I'm on treatment with Lyme. the hiccups can't voluntarily be stopped by drinking water or holding my breath, they just come and go as they please. it doesn't seem anything triggers them.... any ideas? anyone else have lots of hiccups? could it be Lyme? could it be a reaction so soon to the med.s i started 3 days ago? I know they've started since i got back on med.s..... Thanks! Elaina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 ya, thats the same sort of deal with me, I'm curious if more people have this and don't realize it. i definitely get it in waves, but its more like a week i'll get them bad, and then they subside for a few weeks....

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 No idea about possible Lyme connections, but I do have a great hiccup cure that's never failed me: 1. Get a big glass of water (12 oz or more) 2. With one hand, gently grasp the sides of the throat, with the middle fingertip over the carotid artery on one side, and the thumb over the same artery on the other side. (Your larynx should be comfortably in the middle of this grasp.) Squeeze gently -- you're not cutting off circulation, but rather slowing down a nerve that runs through the same area. 3. Take a deep breath, and swallow at least 10 gulps of water without stopping or breathing (they can be small gulps -- it's the gulping action that's important here) while continuously squeezing the points on the throat. There may be another hic or two, but it should go away after that. If it doesn't, repeat; I've never had a second pass at this fail to do the job. Allegedly, this resets the nerves that control the synchronization between your digestive tract and your breathing.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've heard that hiccups can be due to stomach being too akaline. Or was it acidic? Sorry, I don't have time to try to find any info on this right now. No idea if it's true!
