I am a fifteen year old female who has had intractable hiccups for about 3 years or so now. I don't really remember when they started, but 3 years ago is my best guess. I never felt the need to figure out what was making me hiccup every half hour or so due to the fact that I only get one or two at a time, but they hurt. They are loud, and annoying in the middle of class when I randomly go "HIICCC!"They are pretty sharp hiccups and I recently did some research and found out why. I have acid reflux and was diagnosed with it and prescribed medicine for it about a year ago. I get heartburn a lot. My assumption is that acid reflux is the cause. This has been so frustrating for me because I've been trying to change my eating habits and diet both, to try and figure out what is causing these hiccups. I'm in band and choir and sing on my own a lot and I am embarassed to get hiccups in the middle of a song. Can someone please give me some helpful advice as of to why I am getting these incessant hiccups and what I can do to get rid of them?? Thank you much!

Thank you Jan! I appreciate the ideas. I'm going through a rather frustrating time right now because I'm also trying to move forward with singing and music, but it's not going to advance much while these hiccups are taking place. I don't think my parents can afford all the specialists though right now, so I'm still rather puzzled. I hope I can find someone nearby that isn't going to cost my parents a fortune! Thanks again for taking the time to read and respond.
Much appreciation,
