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.

View allCan I dissolve gallbladder stones with medication or do I need surgery to just remove the stones without taking out the whole gallbladder
While medications can sometimes help dissolve small, cholesterol-based gallstones, they are not a primary treatment and often require long-term use. Surgery, specifically laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of the gallbladder), is usually the preferred treatment for symptomatic gallstones, as it's effective and the gallbladder is not essential for life. Removing the gallbladder is a common and safe procedure, and you can live without it
