Hi hiccups are cause by irritation of the diaphragm which many known and unknown causes. I once treated a cancer patient who had surgery near his diaphragm and was having continuous hiccups for a month. I had to use several methods to treat the patient. I can suggest some in your case. You can consult via text or audio means happy to help.
