Advice & Tips:
Not fond of Nifedipine. Only the second day of taking it. It causes Dizziness, Headache, feeling weak& feeling excitable. I got nervouss when the pharmacist said he has never heard of it perscribed for hiccups. Hiccups have only happen twice today. Hope it works fast. I really dislike this crap so far. I get cold easily, but not now. because my vein are constricted a lot. I took my Blood pressure 20 minutes after taking it was 107/75, 2 hours after it was 121/81, lower systolic both times.

Advice & Tips:
Was origionally perscribed chlorpromazine which has helped well in the past. It was no longer on my insurances formulary. This is only 1 of 2 that could have similar effects. Even though chlorpromazine is the only medication approved by the FDA for chronic hiccups.
