Question : In the morning I take approximately 20 pills..more often than not I get a bad case of the hiccups. This morning I could not get rid of them and ended up throwing up water, mucus and my pills...This has happened on more than one occasion but this morning was the worst ever.Is this the sign of something more serious like a hernia?

Hello,
Thanks for query,

Recurrent hiccups could be suggestive of herniation in any part of esophagus.
Initially you can try taking Baclofen 10 mg once daily(Whenever you feel like having recurrent hiccups).
