We’ve all experienced a case of the hiccups from time to time, but trust us, you’ve never had them as bad as this woman has.
Lisa Graves is just 27-years-old, and began hiccuping in 2008 after the birth of her daughter Emily. After speaking with doctors, Emily was assured that the hiccups were most likely caused by her pregnancy, so she thought little of it.
But four years later, in 2012, Graves was pregnant with her second daughter, Sophie and still hiccuping. At this point she was hiccuping up to 100 times a day!
Graves is now a mother of two and a self-employed tattoo artist who says,
“I hiccup every hour without fail. It’s really loud – it almost sounds like a scream. Some people have even said I sound like a dinosaur.”
The hiccups are even so bad as to wake up her husband, Matthew, and the loud noises often stop her sleeping.
And Lisa’s family is so used to it, she says, “But my family don’t notice it anymore – for my daughters I’ve hiccuped their whole lives so they don’t even bat an eyelid when I do it now. I let out two really loud ones during dinner the other day and they didn’t even look up.”
Lisa told the Daily Mail she has continued to visit doctors, including a specialist neurologist, but medical experts remain baffled. She even underwent a gastroscopy, but this showed nothing as usual. While doctors can’t shed light on the cause of her unusual conditions, Graves fears she will be hiccuping for the rest of her life.
“It’s frustrating, I just want to know what’s causing them there must be a reason for it.I’m going to keep pursuing it until I can find out what’s causing them, I’m just at a bit of a loss as to where to turn now but I can’t give up.When I’d had hiccups for four years, I remember hoping I wouldn’t have them for another four. Little did I know I’d still be hiccupping today,” Graves said.
And she continues to try natural remedies and prays that one day her hiccups will go away.
