    Hiccups

    I just finished my 2nd day and now I can't stop the hiccups. You guys have any remedies until I can get some meds tomorrow?

    Ask your doctor to give you Thorazine. It works.

    Do you have any Prilosec in case you get acid reflux? In my husband's case, reflux was right after the hiccups.

    I tried every home remedy possible! Holding breath, drinking, getting scared, nothing works as it is a direct side effect to the chemo. I was on baclofen and nexium; tell your doc about side effects and they will help you or they will at least try.
