Hi my husband has just had his first round of chemo and is suffering from constant hiccups has anyone experienced this and can you give me some advice on how to help him

Thank you

  • Hi Jopeth

    I just noticed that you'd not had a reply to your post from yesterday. How has your husband been today? I do hope that things have improved fro him. 
    Prolonged hiccups can be both annoying and physically tiring. We have some information on our website here that you may find helpful but if he's still struggling then get in touch with the hospital who will be better placed to offer some advice and support. 

    Best wishes,
