My daughter age 14yr10months has for the last 11 months had a high pitched hiccup. Usually it is just one, but it is a loud sweek noise (some say like a mouse sometime is it two times per day and like tonight I have heard 4 over the past 6 hours.
She has been to a peds nuro she feels it is either tic disorder or stress (going thruogh divorce and death of grandmother in the past year). For the longest time we really thought it was just a normal hiccup, but the doctor does not think so.
SHe has no signs of any other disorder, is a great athlete, student and has no problems with friends. The dr. has ordered Clonidine half pill twice per day. I am afraid of the effects it will have on her with the sleep issues and lowering the blood pressure, she plays soccer on a club team and works out very hard. She has just started high school and am also worried about the drug affects during the day.
She wants to try this drug, because she is being known at school as "the girl who hiccups". Is there an herbal way to try this or supplements.
Anyone with ideas or help.
