What could this be? Vocal shriek like hiccup uncontrollable and unpredictable?

---

I have this happen to me randomly it could happen 5 times a dayor more or not at all, it feels like my throat closes for a split second and i have this loud shriek like hiccup which sometimes hurts my throat and sometimes doesn't. I also have symptoms of ADHD, which Im getting all of this checked out but I was wondering if the two could correlate or if anyone experienced one or both symptoms together?
It would be great to ask your dr. about tourettes syndrome. This could just be a tic.  (+ info)

When did you feel your baby hiccup for the first time?

---

I'm 22 weeks and I haven't been able to feel him hiccup yet, but they captured him doing it at my 20 week ultrasound.

When were you able to feel your baby hiccup for the first time?
When could other people see/feel your baby hiccup?
I felt all three of mine hiccup beginning around the middle of the third trimester. Careful what you wish for though, sometimes those things can go on for a long time and you're sitting there with a vibrating belly! ;) Seriously though it's a precious feeling. Happy Hiccuping!  (+ info)

What cause hiccup or burp while pregnant?

---

I'm 20 wks pregnant now, ever since i keep having the hiccup or like burp out of nowhere, ppl smile and say its the baby. I was at the restaurant with my girlfriend and we had a dinner and out of nowhere I had huge burp/hiccup and she said whooaa...i sounded like a drunk person burping...i was embarrassed but i can't help it...its the baby..but im wondering what cause it? baby kicking? or baby hiccup makes me hiccup too?
Usually the cause of indigestion is the baby. People like to say the more indigestion you have, the more hair the baby is going to have. Don't be embarrassed by it, most people expect it from pregnant women.  (+ info)

How does a hiccup form, Like were does it come from and what is it caused by?

hiccups are leprechauns trying to escape from your body because you haven't eaten or had anything to eat in a while..try feeding them the gold chocolate coins, the seem to calm down for a while after that...but do not! eat skittles as it resembles a rainbow and you dont want a bunch of little Irish bastards dancing around inside you do ya?  (+ info)

How can you tell the difference between a hiccup and kick?

---

Is there a noticeably different feeling?
Or do they both feel the same?

In what week of pregnancy will I experience the feeling of his/her hiccup.

I'm 19 weeks pregnant,and can feel him/her kick,but I don't think I've felt a hiccup...
but then again,I don't know what the difference in feeling is..

Thanks in advance =)
the hiccups aren't as strong as the kicks but at 19 weeks Im not sure i felt my kids hiccup But you will notice it more towards the end of pregnancy they are just softer and in the same spot consistantly until the baby gets rid of them. It can be very annoying though at times good luckxxx  (+ info)

Weird hiccup thing when I cry, why is that and how do I stop it?

---

Last night, something really big happened and I ended up crying really hard, and last night and including since I can remember every time I cry I can't breathe, so I do this weird hiccup thing. Why do I do that, and how can I make it stop. Because I ended up crying near my friends and I felt embarassed afterwards because the hiccup thing.

Please explain it to me if you know why that happens.
Who ever Tom J is, grow up, everyone cries. I normally don't but you know when my bestfriend dies because of a car accident I'm gonna f*cking cry.
maybe you were sobbing because something really big/bad happened... it's just emotion, I wouldn't be embarrassed by it...everybody laughs, cries, etc., differently... you are who you are! : )  (+ info)

Is it normal for a baby to hiccup more then once a day while in the womb?

---

I'm 28weeks5 days, yesterday my baby had hiccups for 5 minutes twice. Today is been 3 or 4 times so far. I have an old what to expect while expecting bool and it ways that if hiccups are for ten minutes and happen four times a day, the cord could be wrapped around his neck. I'm going to my doctor tomorrow any way so i'll ask then, but in the mean time what do you guys think?
All my kids were hiccup crazy. My kids got hiccups at least 5 times a day everyday while I was pregnant. With my daughter, the cord was wrapped around her neck but it didn't cause anything bad to happen to her. With my son, the cord wasn't wrapped around his neck and he got hiccups just as much as my daughter. With this pregnancy, the baby gets hiccups at least 4-5 times a day. I don't know if the cord is wrapped around her neck or not. So I'd say it's a 50/50 chance the cord could be wrapped. Hope this helps  (+ info)

Why do people hiccup? What causes it, exactly? What's the best/fastest way to get rid of them?

---

I know it has something to do with the diaphragm, but what?
I love Wikipedia ;-)

A hiccup or hiccough (normally pronounced "HICK-up"), is the spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm that repeats several times per minute. In humans, the abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, creating the "hic" noise. In medicine, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus.

List of possible causes of hiccup (singultus):

Carbonated beverages
Lack of water
Eating too fast
Being hungry for a while
Taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal
Burping
Eating very hot or spicy food
Laughing vigorously
Coughing
Drinking alcoholic beverages in excess
Crying out loud (sobbing causes air to enter the stomach)
Some smoking situations where abnormal inhalation can occur (in tobacco or other smoke like cannabis, perhaps triggered by precursors to coughing)
Electrolyte imbalance
Talking for too long
Clearing the throat
Use of some of the stronger opiate/opioid painkillers such as heroin, morphine, methadone and oxycodone
Lack of vitamins
Overstretching of the neck
Laryngitis
Heartburn (gastroesophageal reflux)
Sensation that there is food in the esophagus
Irritation of the eardrum (which is innervated by the vagus nerve)
Pressure to the phrenic nerve
Chemotherapy
General anesthesia
Surgery
Bloating
Tumor
Infection
Diabetes

Ordinary hiccups are cured easily without medical intervention; in most cases they can be stopped simply by forgetting about them. However, there are a number of anecdotal treatments for casual cases of hiccups. Some of the more common home remedies include giving the afflicted a fright or shock, drinking water (sometimes in an unorthodox manner), and altering one's breathing.  (+ info)
