Hello,

Hiccups may be due to diaphragmatic contractions may be due to phrenic nerve irritation or it may be due to irritation of diaphragm seen in hepatitis or gastritis or appendicitis or cholecystitis or kidney or liver failure.

So you have to get it done ultrasound abdomen, renal function tests, liver function tests, Upper GI endoscopy.

Avoid alcohol and smoking. Use tablet baclofen 10 mg twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
