The hiccups aren't intractible--I can get them to stop by doing a relaxation exercise. But I just figure there is something happening in the signalling system of the muscles that maybe is caused by meds.I'm going to go with your home grown science, cause it's not the like the burping isn't controllable, it's just all the sudden, I'm burping all the damn time! "Agitated receptors make it impossible for girl to get a date"
Hahah. I guess it is kinda like a bad habit... I definitely notice it is less if I take my meds a few hours before bedtime, rather than right as I lay down. And, I am a burping fool after I eat, so maybe there is something I can do there - maybe eat slower or something.
Anyway, thanks for the theory! :)
