I had a really good milkshake with dinner that I drank way too fast. A few minutes later, the hiccups began. Five hours later, they’re still here. I’m having to sleep in a separate room from my wife for the first night since we moved in together because they’re keeping her awake.

What’s worse is I’m having flashbacks from three years ago where I had an episode of hiccups that lasted four days straight. Back then I was unemployed and loath to go to a doctor, and embarrassed about it being for hiccups of all things but I was about to break down right around the time they finally stopped. This time, if they don’t stop, I think I’m going to a doctor much sooner.

When I tell people that story, I can tell it sounds crazy. Hiccups aren’t that bad right? Well after three or four days of being up all night with involuntary muscle spasms, it’s borderline torture. I think I may literally have PTSD.

TL;DR:

Drank a milkshake, got hiccups that won’t go away hours later, hiccups are no joke.
