Hello, Thanks for asking your question. Hiccup is unintentional spasm/contraction of diaphragm muscle. Usually it has no apparent cause but it can be triggered by irritation of nerves in diaphragm, and usually disappear after a few minutes. In rare cases, hiccups can last for days, weeks, or months. spicy food, full stomach, surgery, stroke and many other causes may initiate hiccups.However, steroids and losartan reportedly can initiate hiccups specially in hypertensive patients. There is no medication to stop hiccups but it can be managed by: Breathe repeatedly into a paper bag Holding your breath and counting slowly to 10 Drinking a glass of cold water Eat a teaspoon of sugar or honey If hiccups persists for many days then contact your doctor, sometimes it needs to change/hold medication and gastric lavage or tube insertion Hope it helps. Take Care!
