Hiccups after stroke

[Admin]

[12/1, 2:20 PM] Nandini: Anyone can guide on how you are managing frequent hiccups after stroke? My mother has started getting hiccups in the middle of the night from the last one week. Is it something to be concerned about?
[12/1, 2:24 PM] Arvind Chittor: Nothing to worry. Nothing related to her stroke. Hiccups are normal.
[12/1, 2:26 PM] Arvind Chittor: Just because we had a serious health issue, we tend to stress on every small thing happening. Which is usually termed as PTSD that I’ve seen in lot of my fellow warriors and myself too. Now I’ve reversed the taught to ” it’s nothing to worry”, would suggest the same to you n all.

Went to my doctor and he told me to change the way I keep pillow and sides. If the hiccup is continuous and non stop then it needs to be checked is what I was told . He also told check on the food I consume . So u do the same . If it persists then meet the doctor .
