Hiccups symptoms and conditions

My father was prescribed Ambien due to some sleeping issues. It was prescribed to take "as needed". He was also prescribed flexorall which is a muslce relaxor. After taking the Ambien for awhile he started becoming more agitated than usual and was having nightmares. Then one Sunday morning he got up and was in his usual routine of drinking coffee & reading the paper. He got the hiccups and got up to get a glass of water but when he went into the kitchen he poured more coffee into a glass. He then was stumbling around and twice almost fell. His behavior became stranger and so my mother took him to the ER. They thought he possible had a stroke. He doesn't remember any of that morning until he was at the hospital. After several test it turns out, it was all a side effect of taking the Ambien, Flexorall & drinking a beer the night before. After looking at the side effects on the computer, he had most of them and should not have been taking the muscle relaxer & sleep aid together.

I began to experience difficulty swallowing followed by hiccups which felt like my throat was closing up. Couldn't figure out what it could be, I was afraid I might have throat cancer. Then I realized that I started having problems swallowing when I began taking Move Free. Stopped taking Move Free and the problem disappeared.

I have uncontrollable hiccups. What I'm I tgo do?

I had Sinus Surgery August 19 2008 and had two F/U visits. On the second F/U the Dr prescribed me the Dexpak Taperpad Steroid (51 pills to be taking in a Pyramid fashion. I was prescribed this for inflammation of on of my Turbinates. This is only my 3rd day on the steroids and I want to stop taking them sooo bad. I have been unable to sleep, I seem to be hallucinating, and I have been having the HICCUPS Uncontrollably!!! The HICCUPS is the most annoying thing to me. As for the if the Drug works, I will repost later after I go back for another F/U appointment. But so far NOT WORTH TAKING!!

I found this site as I want to read on the side effect of this Kenalog which was injected to my face by the doctor to reduce the size of two liquid cists (apparently only one injections). After the injection, I had my period which is only 15 days after my last period, which never happened to me as my cycle is always longer than 30 days and is very regular. Per the doctor, I thought the "cist" would be gone in few days. It did not and instead, I experienced rashes on my entire body and after one week, my ankle and knee was swollen and it was rather painful and I can hardly walk around for two days. Together with the swollen on the leg, the injection on my face is also swollen up and my face looked really in bad shape. I went back to the doctor and I was given one week of antibiotics to drain away the "infection".
Since the cist is still on my face and it really bother me as it is red and very itchy, though my face is not that swollen / puffy anymore. I came back and see the doctor again to have him cheked up on my face. He just gave me one month of antibiotic. I have no idea that having that injection would cause me so much troubles.
It is now more than a month after the injection, my face has a hole as that was injected with kenalog and the other cis on the face is still there. The worse thing is that the cist is is getting very itchy and it was not so before the injection. I am still patiently taking the antibiotic and promised to comeback and see the doctor after one month.
I still having pain on my join and reading your comments, I realized the pain is definitely associated with Kenalog.
I'd love to hear more from you on how things turn out. Thank you.

Have anyone had symtoms like my constant hiccups. Please respond. I am desperate!

constant hiccups. Stops for 20 minutes and comes back again for 2 to 3 hours. It is a horrible feeling. The doctor prescribed it for bad allergies. I feel like stopping this horrible drug. I still feel the same way about my allergies. This is totally ridiculous!

hiccups, hair loss and low libido

I have been taking 300 mg lithium for a few months. For some reason I never even considered it to be the reason that i feel terrible and throw up a few nights a week.

As for my weight, I lost 10 lbs when I started wellbutrin last december. So when i started the lithium i may or may not have lost a few more pounds. The scale has said about 111 the whole time, but everyone keeps telling me more and more how great I look as time goes by. Probably the lithium is causing me to lose water weight. Though I now carry a water bottle with me at all times!! Actually, I started to doing that with the wellbutrin and my cottonmouth has improved since the lithium. I use to wake up in the middle of the night over a nightmare about dying of dehydration because I was so thirsty.

I guess I am very lucky with regards to side effects of drugs. There are other bummers, like I dont drink anymore, and there is definitely a STIGMA attached to lithium. Even thought I technically have not been diagnosed as bi-polar. In all of 2005 I was extremely depressed and even jumped off a second story window and shattered my sholder. Then I went bankrupt. All I ever did was think about dead all the time.

I was so happy (and shocked) when Wellbutrin allowed me to stop thinking about death. Then we added lithium to keep me from crying all the time. Well my point is

1. Wellbutrin can counter the weight gaining effect of lithium (Or at least it did for me)

2. Does anyone else get sick at night all the time? How about HICCUPS?

3. I agree with the previous posting... I dont care if my family and friends think I am crazy or if I start to gain a lot of weight when I get a little older, I never, EVER want to be that sad ever again.

Best wishes to everyone reading this. I understand your pain. If anyone ever gives you a hard time such as because "others have it hard too", or "it's all in your head" tell them that I said for them to shove off. This is our only life, no one should have to be unhappy.

I know I wrote a lot. But hopefully at least one person finds this helpful. I use to spend hours on the computer trying to find answers. (The depression was so bad I couldn't leave the house to work.) I check ******weekly if anyone has any additional questions.

My daughter just finished a course of Omnicef for ear infection. Throughout treatment she complained of occassional hiccups. One day after we finished the Omnicef, she broke out in a whelt-like rash on her chest, back and legs.
She has never had this reaction before. This was our first
time -- and last -- taking this new antibiotic.

Hiccups occured about 1 hour after injection, and lasted until ER visit to receive Thorzine counter acting drug. This has happen 3/5 times that I had cortosone injections.

Hello, I have been taking sinulair 10 mg for about 4 years. My doctor claims it's safety and I feel like when I go off of it, my asthma symptoms return. I never thought about the weight gain since I quit smoking and gained 25 pounds. I have lost ten of it and it does seem that I should be losing it faster with all the working out I do. I notice weakness in my face and arms sometimes. It goes away and I brush it off as muscle strain from doing weights. I maybe should research it more and see the connections to my side effects. It is scary to think that all my ailments are from this drug. My doctor says I am in great respiratory condition and the benefits outweigh the risks. Lately I noticed something strange. My chest feels like it hiccups every once in awhile during the night like, the valve is flapping. I had an EKG and a halter monitor and my heart is normal. Maybe it is in the lungs or something. I have been exposed to pesticide over the last 6 months and have had allergic reactions to it and am moving this month. It may be linked to that. It would be interesting to find out. What can I take instead of Singulair, that is not a steroid? I have excercise induced asthma. Please advise.

I get really dizzy when I take Pancof and cannot get rid of the hiccups
