Good Morning I have suffered from hiccups for 16 years now, I have had many Gastro tests, all returned negative for reflux. On occasions I have severe hiccups (40+ per minute) which causes difficulty in breathing. I have seen many specialists in NHS in UK and also private, so far no-one can cure this problem.
