Hiccups

Hiya i had chemotherapy and often got hiccups afterwards, one of the side effects i could cope with as well as the twitchy eye xx

Hi,

If you haven't already you could try searching on 'hiccup' in the 'search in group' search box. Its bringing back a number of hits so seems like others have experienced the same thing.

Thanks, wasn't aware I could do that, sorry. I'll look.

Hi,

yes, it’s a common side effect, caused by the steroids received to help process the chemo through the body.

i was told if it persisted there was medication to try and reduce it, but I found it one of the easier side effects!

take care
