Why am I burping and hiccupping during chemotherapy?
Community Member
4 days agoI just finished my 9th round of chemotherapy. I've been having issues with constant burping and hiccuping which causing me difficulty eating and burping up acid reflux. I've reported it to my oncologist and he prescribed acid medication but still doesn't work. Has anyone having the same issues and if you can provide any recommendations.

3 days agoDigestive issues like burping and hiccups can be challenging side effects during treatment, and it sounds frustrating that the prescribed medication hasn't provided relief yet. Many people in cancer communities experience similar digestive symptoms, and there may be additional approaches worth discussing with your healthcare team, such as dietary modifications or alternative medications. Hopefully others here will share what has worked for them in managing these uncomfortable symptoms.
