How to Treat Persistent Hiccups After Chemotherapy

Those who are undergoing chemotherapy, many will experience immediate side effects such as fever, headache, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, indigestion, stomach pain, etc. or delayed reaction such as mouth sores, loss of appetite, weight loss, hair loss and persistent non-stop HICCUPS.

In my personal experience, the only side effects I experienced were weight loss which has stabilized lately, hair loss but have started to grow after my 5th chemo.  Persistent and non-stop HICCUPS was the only side effects that troubles me all throughout which usually appears on the 2nd or 3rd day after my chemo. I had tried every medical and  home remedies in the past to no avail until unintentionally, unexpectedly I tried  HOLDING MY BREATH WHILE SLOWLY SIPPING AND SWALLOWING SMALL AMOUNT OF LIQUID AT A TIME IN SUCCESSION TO AS LONG AS I CAN,  TO THE POINT OF EXPERIENCING A DROWNING SENSATION,  THEN STOP SIPPING AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH AND BLOW.  THE RELIEF IS IMMEDIATE.  Repeat the same procedure for recurrence.
(If you find relief, please let me know and let us post and spread this to others. Thank you.)

Another important advice. After chemo, one will experience tumorlysis,  so one must drink plenty of liquid at least 1500 to 3000 cc to wash out and expel cancer cells in our body, wash our hands afterwards and make sure no urine spillage in the toilet bowl or urinal and flush the toilet bowl after use.
