If I get the hiccups usually have them 3 to 4 times that day is bad?

Hiccups are usually harmless and go away on their own within a few minutes or hours. However, if you have hiccups that last for more than 48 hours, you should see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

Some of the potential causes of chronic hiccups include:

* Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

* Hiatal hernia

* Diabetes

* Kidney disease

* Liver disease

* Certain medications

* Stress or anxiety

If you are experiencing chronic hiccups, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes, medications, or other treatments to help relieve your symptoms.
