Symptoms Of Hiccups - Hiccups

The only symptoms of hiccups are a characteristic sound, which is preceded by a small tightening sensation in your chest, abdomen or throat. While some people have four hiccups in a minute, there are many who get 60 hiccups a minute. Usually, they are not a cause for concern. Still, if a person has prolonged hiccups for more than 48 hours, it is a cause of worry and requires medical attention.
