Has anyone else on TID experienced chronic hiccups?
I have had hiccups for an average of two days per week for the past two years. They got so bad I started taking muscle relaxers, which help, but the side effect is general loss of strength in my lifts.
I have experimented with taking breaks from everything (diet drinks, over the counter supplements, different foods, etc. etc.) except low dose test, and nothing has given me relief.
My latest idea is that they could be due to using ethyl oleate as the oil base for my test and tren. No one I have talked with thinks it is the testosterone I am taking.
They get so bad that I am breathing in stomach acid while sleeping, which gives me a chronic cough. Luckily this is rare. But often, when the hiccups get going, I have really bad acid reflux (something I have had for years).
Another idea I have is that they may be related to acid reflux.
My doctor suggested it could possibly be caused by scarring of my diaphragm where it touches my liver because I had Hepatitis B when I was a youth visiting Brazil. Unfortunately my insurance won't pay for a cat scan Another doctor suggested possibly a stroke or minor heart attack could have caused the condition.
Apparently there are thousands of possible causes of chronic hiccups.
If I can get rid of them I hope to regain my strength and win another national strongman competition...
In the meantime I have switched to bodybuilding to shed some bodyfat and do some growing. At least I have a chance of excelling at that while I have hiccups.
