<human>: ok so my bf was suffering from nonstop hiccups. he went to the doctor and they ran some tests to find out that he had a growth on his diaphragm. they recently removed it with surgery, but he cant stop hiccuping. was the doctor wrong? could it be something else? will his hiccups ever stop?
<bot>: Hello rearward welcome to Chat Doctor.come have evaluated your query for your boyfriend in details .* There are a variety of reasons for persistent hiccup as - damage to vagus or Phoenix nerve leading to diaphragm irritation - consumption of too much spicy - intake of excess carbonated beverages, alcohol - others.* So this requires detailed case study , rather than simply thinking as wrong primary diagnosis.* Stopping of hiccups will be dependent upon the basic cause. Wishing him fine recovery. Feel free to ask any further queries. Regards .
