Does anyone else hiccup randomly all the time?

[NoHomers]

Not an attack of hiccups, but just one single loud hiccup. Without any warning.

It happens to me at least once a day, usually more. Not related to eating or drinking, it seems completely random.

Happens in places like the supermarket, and people turn to look at me like I'm a drunk or something!

Why?

Yes without warning. The family are used to it, one dog comes over all concern,the other dog acts as if I've ruined his day and when I do it in public and people stare ,I just look behind me and stare accusingly at someone!

I hiccup without fail every time I eat pastry. I have no idea why. It's the only time I hiccup

Ha good tip!

It is embarrassing. Wish I could find a way to stop it happening.

I would be gutted if it was pastry as I love a good pie (northern) and it might put me off them.

But for me there is no obvious cause.

I love a pasty (southern) and sometimes have a sneaky one when I do the grocery shopping. The hiccups when I walk through the door means I'm rumbled!

Ooh - I do this and have never thought too much about but... but never encountered anyone else who did it. Wierdly, when I was in labour I gave a single loud hiccup at the end of each contraction - for 27 hours!

My DD (17) has this. Usually around 20-25 times a day and we can't figure out the cause. The doctor started her on medication but it made her so out if it she just puts up with the hiccups now.
