My husband has had hiccups for 5 days now. He has tried everything he read to try to stop them.Eating ice, drinking cold water, breathing methods, taking a spoon of sugar, spoon of honey etc. He went to the dr. and she took an EKG thinking it may be a heart problem. It wasn t his heart.She wants him to call her after the weekend if they don t stop. After having some ice pops the hiccups stopped and he got a good nights sleep but started again today and still continues. Can you suggest any other solutions? We ll try anything. I know that this can be a sign of somthing more serious but it came on so suddenly. He said that this happened to him years ago but went away. What do you thing?
