ok so my bf was suffering from nonstop hiccups. he went to the doctor and they ran some tests to find out that he had a growth on his diaphragm. they recently removed it with surgery, but he cant stop hiccuping. was the doctor wrong? could it be something else? will his hiccups ever stop?
Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query for your boyfriend in details .* There are a variety of reasons for persistent hiccup as - damage to vagus or Phoenix nerve leading to diaphragm irritation - consumption of too much spicy - intake of excess carbonated beverages, alcohol - others.* So this requires detailed case study , rather than simply thinking as wrong primary diagnosis.* Stopping of hiccups will be dependent upon the basic cause. Wishing him fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further queries. Regards .
