Yes. I experience a brief period of hiccups after eating. I'm particularly mindful of this. A very good friend lived to be 91 and survived esophageal cancer following surgery. He cautioned me that hiccups are an often-overlooked symptom of this form of cancer. This was the secondary reason I went to an ENT a couple of weeks ago after the swallowing problems began in July. His diagnosis was tightening of the throat muscles.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member Thanks! Great information. So far my husband is not having swallowing issues. Praise God for that.
Blessings!

My husband was doing that for a while, but it seems to have stopped.

Yes this happens from time to time and I think there is a way to get a speech therapist to help with swallowing and posture. My husband's head droop has gotten really bad.

Yes, had severe hiccups because Parkinson’s gave me gastroparesis.
