The OP has posted a quest to any doctor in the forum which any normal person will take seriously irrespective of whether he is able to answer it or not.
But you-

Are you a toilet doctor?

@hp-india: dude, relax! Chlorpromazine is the drug of choice for intractable hiccups. I know what i am talking about :cool2:

You might be. And I know exactly what Chlorpromazine is used for. But still that doesn't give us the liberty to prescribe drugs without knowing the patient's physical status, his medical history, etc. and without giving him proper instructions. At least that is what I feel. When you treat a patient, you treat him as a whole, and not just the disease.

No offense, but please do not prescribe anything without seeing the patient physically. And this is not some software to just "try".

Second that. No offense, but recommending drugs without professional diagnosis is just not done.

@OP Do the hiccups accompany any pain?

The City of Diamonds.
Intractable Hiccups is a very notorious condition for both the patient and the treating doctor.

In general you cant find the exact causes for it, the most common hypothesis is the irritation of the nerves supplying the Diaphragm which causes the sudden recurrent spasms of the muscles of diaphragm.

Most probable cause for this is GERD(Acidity), Electrolyte imbalance, sometimes even Psycho-Somatic disorder.

But nothing of the above is dangerous.

What your doctors have prescribed you? Please pm me the names of drugs of scan / photo of the prescription.

Can help you little with your case notes, but the gold standard is the Physical examination.

If acidity is one of the causes... ENO can be tried if you are not allergic to it. It has water and ENO too so two birds in one stone :bleh: Please take my advice lightly... and do update us if the hiccups stopped.

I was given a shot of Chlorpromazine direct to the vein and another which i forgot..
The prescribed tabs I'm having now are Ganaton OD n Sucralfate syrup..
Forgot the name of the other tab, will post here soon..

As for now the hiccups have stopped, but condition was really bad last night, i was supposedly boiling even in B'lore's cool weather, also lost all strength, even to stand up~.. Its supposed to be a side effect of Chlorpromazine, but now things seem alrite..
