You could try some laxatives and see if that helps. They make you miserable though. Or, if you drink the tea at Starbucks, three times a week, it will regulate you, or you can try that yogurt Activia, that works real well. If none of that helps, you'll have to go to the doctor because you could be too backed up for anything to help. Three times a week though isn't irregular, if that's regular for you.

"Hic!" You've just hiccuped for what seems like the tenth time since you finished your big dinner. Wonder where these funny noises are coming from? The part to blame is your diaphragm (say: die-uh-fram). This is a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of your chest, and all hiccups start here.\n\nThe diaphragm almost always works perfectly. When you inhale, it pulls down to help pull air into the lungs. When you exhale, it pushes up to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated. When this happens, it pulls down in a jerky way, which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly. When the air rushing in hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup.\n\nSome things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or feeling nervous or excited. Almost all cases of the hiccups last only a few minutes. Some cases of the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual, and it's usually a sign of another medical problem.\n\nYou've probably heard lots of suggestions for how to get rid of hiccups, and maybe you've even tried a few. Holding your breath and counting to 10 is one way some people can get rid of their hiccups. Other people say that drinking from the "wrong" side of a glass of water is the way to become hiccup-free.\n\nPutting sugar under your tongue might work, too. And maybe the most famous treatment - having someone jump out and scare you when you're not expecting it - helps some people wave good-bye to their hiccups. Boo!

Might be GERD.  I would see a doctor, even if all you feel is irritated at that annoying issue ... could save you in the long run, if it is.

Some research suggests 8-10 cups of water might be overdoing it; I say keep it simple and drink as much as you're thirsty to drink.\n\nOther than that, that's a solid plan.

The recurring eye twitch I was going to say could easily be a vitamin deficiency. But then I opened the question and read the details. That would be a little disconcerting. You know, it never hurts to go see your friendly neighborhood doctor and just have everything checked out occasionally. Oh I know the turn your head and cough bit is a tad uncomfortable too, but hey.........at least you don't have stirrups. Ok the point being....go see the doctor no matter what is going on in your head. And don't procrastinate because you are afraid of bad news. He'll probably tell you to start eating right and get more exercise. That feeds your brain more vitamin B and that just might take care of everything! So listen to those people that wrote above me. Make an appt. soon........but let us know how it goes.

I'm allergic to something that no doctor has yet been able to figure out.  It strikes me at the worst times (usually when I'm eating or drinking) and it was extremely hard to control.  What I've learned to do is to hold a piece of ice to the top of my mouth with my tounge.  If you press the ice firmly enough to the roof of your mouth the sneezing should stop (at least, it does with my sneezing).

Although mucous is a natural and necessary part of the body's system, too much can be very annoying.  Taking echinacea can help.  Using antihistamines will resolve the problem, but will MORE THAN LIKELY cause other problems down the road.  Also, try drinking more water and juices.  Caffinated drinks and sodas can actually make the problem worse.

What causes hiccups?\nA very full stomach can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. A full stomach can be caused by:\n\n   Eating too much food too quickly. \n   Drinking too much alcohol. \n   Swallowing too much air. \n    Smoking. \n   A sudden change in stomach temperature, such as          drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage. \n   Emotional stress or excitement. \n\n\nHow are hiccups treated?\nMost bouts of hiccups go away on their own within a few minutes to a few hours and do not require any treatment.\n\nMany home remedies are used to treat hiccups. Most of them involve increasing the level of carbon dioxide in the blood, which usually stops hiccups. Some of these remedies include:\n\nHolding your breath and counting slowly to 10. \nBreathing repeatedly into a paper bag for a limited period of time. \nQuickly drinking a glass of cold water. \nEating a teaspoon of sugar or honey. \nThe treatment for persistent or intractable hiccups depends on the underlying cause of the hiccups and may range from medicine to acupuncture or hypnosis. Sometimes several treatments may be tried before persistent or intractable hiccups are controlled. If you have hiccups that last a few days or longer, your doctor may conduct tests to rule out a more serious problem.

I have that same problem. Try to avoid caffeine or carbonated drinks or foods that would produce gas. If it helps, buy some over the counter medicine.

Yeah, stop eating fatty acids and if you aren't that's happening because your body is used to the routine and it's not used to you not doing it. It's just bloating!

It's probably stress or caffiene. I take multiple vitamins everyday, and I get eye twitches that drive me nuts! My problem was curbed by cutting down on the caffiene and stress a bit.

When you hiccup, it is when your diaphram is having a spasm. It is normal to have them. Some say when you are either sick or cold. If your friend has had them NON-STOP for the past day, then I would recommend that your friend contact their physician.

We hiccup because our diaphragm is irittated, it contracts uncontrollably. This can happen when you eat too fast. The contraction, or twitching, causes the back of the throat to snap shut which is what makes the sound of hiccup...
