I’m curious what the doctors remedies for hiccups were, that didn’t involve inflating his abdomen. My go-to trick for curing hiccups is taking in a deep breath as deep as physically possible, then swallowing as many times as I can while holding my breath. But that wouldn’t be great during abdominal rest because taking in a deep breath causes the belly to expand.

A friend of mine told a story about his brother who had a major surgery in his abdomen and HAD to control his chronic hiccups while in recovery. His doctors helped. I don’t even remember all the remedies he mentioned because there were several and the point was that each person can be different so you have to figure out what works for you.
