I get hiccups alot and last night woke up with them.

Anyone else or just me.

I'm wondering if it is related the airway passages.

They can relate to GERD, which is very common in OSA patients.

I get violent cases of the hiccups! I mean they're deep and LOUD! They irk my mom's nerves big time! The best solution I have found thus far is a good heaping spoonful of peanut butter! Gotta take it without any liquidt though. That stops them instantly! Then after they've stoped I go get something to drink. I love peanut butter though, so it's no problem to down a big spoonful of it!
