Odd symptom
So I have a question about a rather odd recurring problem since my mastectomies and this seemed like the best location to post given the names of the other forums.
So here goes. As you can see from my signature I had the double back in July of 2009. Since then I have had frequent recurrent hiccups that begin just after I eat something. It goes like this. I will eat something (meal, snack it makes no difference), about a moment later the hiccups start. They last anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes then they go away. This occurs roughly 70% of the time when I eat.
I've done some cursory web searches about post-surgical hiccups but have come up with bupkiss. I've never spoken to anyone else who has reported this problem. And I left to assume that given I'm nearly one year post surgery, that this issue is not likely to resolve.
So I'm curious has ANYONE experienced this phenomena themselves, or even heard of it? Any information or insight you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
