I get the hiccups about once every day for about 1/2 hour then they go away and just come back. Nothing helps them and they are really bad! I have this condition called Arnold Chiari that some people say causes them, but I'm not sure....

Hiccups are a contraction of the diaphragm, a muscle that's located just under the breast bone, and are usually caused by excessive air swallowing, eating or gulping food or drink, laughing, indigestion or haital hernia. If you haven't seen a doctor about this, I'd suggest you do so to determine the exact cause and enable you to find a cure or treatment for this annoying condition. Lots of luck!

You eat too quickly and dont chew your food sufficiently before you swallow;
