I'm experiencing these random single hiccups scattered throughout the daylike just one hiccup at a time but occurring maybe 10 or 15 times daily. They're quiet too. I've noticed them every day for the past three weeks. I know I have acid reflux and anxiety, but aside from that, I'm a healthy and active 23-year-old female. I'm really curious if having just one hiccup multiple times a day is considered persistent. Can you shed some light on this?

Single, random hiccups throughout the day arent typically classified as persistent hiccups, which usually last over 48 hours continuously. However, since theyve been ongoing daily for weeks, its worth discussing with a doctor, especially given your acid reflux and anxiety, as these could be contributing factors.

I've been having ongoing stomach pain that isn't getting any better even after taking CYCLOPAM. I'm 68 years old and not sure what to do now. Any advice?

I understand your concern. Persistent stomach pain despite taking Cyclopam could indicate a more serious underlying issue such as gastritis, ulcer, or other gastrointestinal problems. It's important to seek medical attention immediately, preferably with a visit to your healthcare provider or an emergency department, to properly diagnose and treat the cause of your discomfort.

I'm really struggling with this pain I've had for a month now. I've seen several doctors, and they've given me tablets, but nothing seems to help. I don't have a cough or fever, just this persistent pain in my right upper abdomen. Sometimes the pain spreads to my back and other times to my right chest. I'm worried if I might have broken ribs or a liver issue. What do you think I should do?

it might be due to gastritis, take tablet pantop for 5 days

I'm curious about something I've been feeling recently. Whenever I drink water, I can actually feel it moving down through my chest, and there's this cool sensation that accompanies it. Swallowing isn't an issue, but I wanted to know if what I'm experiencing is normal. Can you help me understand this?

it is normal
