Story from Jam Press (15 Years Hiccups)

Woman with hiccups that lasted 15 YEARS does three-year-long experiment on herself to finally make them stop

A woman has revealed how she undertook a three-year-long experiment on herself to help treat the chronic hiccups that had been plaguing her for over 15 years.

Emergency dispatcher Nicole Allard, 37, who now lives in Alaska, US, was called a "constipated pig" at school because of the strange noises she made as a teenager.

Although she would have periods where the hiccups would lessen, they never went away, with Nicole also suffering severe stomach pain that left her so breathless that she would have to go to hospital.

“All through high school, I was called a constipated pig, a baby seal getting clubbed, a pterodactyl," she told Jam Press.

“As I got older, I became so fed up with the pain.

“Sometimes the hiccups would be louder, sometimes quieter, sometimes so frequent I couldn’t catch my breath.

"At first, it was annoying but funny, then as it progressed I felt resigned.

"Sometimes I would get a little down but I was so used to them I didn’t feel it too much.

"I had a little anger but not red hot anger – more of a festering irritation."

The hiccups first began around the age of 15, when Nicole started to get frequent stomach pain.

They would last for hours at a time, day after day – sometimes settling down a little but always coming back.

The only reprieve she had was at night, when she was sleeping.

Nicole went to doctor after doctor and had test after test, but claims no one could find a cause or offer her any suitable treatments and often felt they dismissed her condition as “something minor caused by stress”.

She said: “I had hiccups pretty much all the time for 15 years. For the first five, I looked for help but didn’t get any answers.

“After that, I would try every now and again to get answers if I thought of something new.

"Then there was five
