    I had the hiccups for 15 months straight… long story short, the doctors in the hospital found out it was beeing caused by cancer cells that was surrounding my heart and my lungs… after emergency surgery they removed the cancer cells and i was finally released from the hiccups i had for 15 months straight… best feeling ever when i woke up and realized my hiccups were gone… All credits to the doctors of Erasmus Medisch Centrum (EMC) in Rotterdam, The Netherlands 🇳🇱.

  • @jamesthompson7282

    I don't know what pleased me more: Siobhan's obvious enjoyment of a medical mystery solved, or the joy she takes in the fact Chris obtained a cure, found relief.
    Her concern for Chris, her disappointment in a diagnosis missed for so long... She's a breath of fresh air. Doctors are simply people - bright, motivated & very dedicated or they wouldn't survive the educational program - but they tend to practice clinical detachment to the point it's pathological. They tend not to be - or to show - emotional involvement the way Siobhan does. I hope other doctors realize they should emulate her: they'd enjoy medicine more & improve patient care dramatically.
    I'm sure Siobhan is a good doctor, will bring real clinical benefit to a great many patients fortunate to experience her care. But she'll have a much bigger impact: I'm convinced she'll encourage a lot of younger viewers to consider some kind of career in medicine. That's a good thing!
    And kudos to Chris! What a resilient person. It's hard to find the humour in things & the joy in life when you've been sleep-deprived & sidelined with such a debilitating disease.
    They're both inspiring!

    I had hiccups for about 5 weeks once, and it nearly drove me batty. I could not imagine 3 years. I am so glad they were able to figure it out for him! My hiccups were mild at first, but then got worse, which caused a bruised sternum. Doctors I saw at the time thought I was faking somehow 🤦🏼‍♀️ until the bruises on my chest came about. But, even then they did literally nothing. Sent me on my way with a prescription for naproxen 😏 I would find out about 10 years later, after losing vision in my right eye and going through tons of test that I had Multiple Sclerosis. My spinal cord was covered in lesions. The thing they now believed was the reason for my hiccups. Prolonged hiccups are not normal, don't let anyone, nor any doctor let you otherwise.

    How can he always see the positive side of things even though everything he has to been through is so horrible? Mad respect. I love how he used his passion for music to keep having hope. It’s just incredible. If it was me, I would just be super pissed and blame the world “why me?”. Just wow, got so much positivity from him watching this. He sounds like the kind of person you wanna team up with when the world is ending so you can keep fighting and look at the bright side and listen to some nice music.

      It's a survival technique of sorts. I did the same thing when I got very sick 5 years ago (colitis ulcerosa, got a stoma within a year). You have to keep your mood up somehow, otherwise it feels like you might as well just die and, in a sense, let the illness "win". So you celebreate the small things, try to see the positive side of it all and do your best to just keep going. The answer to your pains are somewhere in the future, you just have to keep going until then. And you will.

    • @eponawarrior7492
      @eponawarrior7492 Před 2 lety +2

      It's a very real possibility that he experienced both of those feelings simultaneously. I am sick and disabled with something that hasn't been easy to diagnose or figure out, and I have felt both bitterness and rage, but also intense joy for the small things in life, and the little wins. I choose to share my joy rather than my pain, because it's more easily digestible for those around me, and because I don't want people to think that my life has stopped mattering because I suffer a lot. I still want to live and enjoy my life even though I am intensely ill.

    • @gnarthdarkanen7464
      @gnarthdarkanen7464 Před 11 měsĂ­ci

      I'll reference the part where he talked about what HE NEEDED... He needed his friends and family NOT to keep saying how sorry they were for him going through it, and to NOT keep asking if he was alright... or gonna be alright. He NEEDED them to keep acting foolish, pranking him, joking around, and at least trying to act relatively normal IN SPITE of the hiccup issue...
      This is one of the great values to a sense of humor... AND it's why "Dark Humor" is often a coping mechanism for a lot of us going through "rough patches" in our lives. Sometimes there are things you can't do a damn thing about... BUT you CAN always laugh at it... you CAN make fun of it...
      Sometimes, making fun of the "monster that's killing you" makes it feel just a little bit smaller, just a little weaker... Might be a Pyrrhic victory in the end, but it can STILL be a win. ;o)

    You mention the importance of advocating for yourself, and I absolutely agree. That being said, how is someone without a medical background supposed to know what they should even be asking for? How is any layperson supposed to figure out that hiccups are caused by your brain, and not any of the parts that are actually doing the hiccuping??
    It’s so, *so* unfair that we put the onus on the patient to figure out their own diagnostic/treatment/care needs, then tell them stand up for themselves while they are suffering and vulnerable and exhausted. And then we turn around and get frustrated about patients consulting Dr Google before coming to the clinic or hospital.
    As a Canadian who has been both a patient and a nurse, I have to say: we do a pretty good job with acute and/or life threatening conditions. But chronic illness is where we totally whiff, even if the condition is completely debilitating. We’re also not great at prevention, to be honest.
    We absolutely need to do better.

    I have a Hiatal Hernia and a Schlotzsky's ring so when I saw he had the hernia problem I could really feel empathy for him. But the final outcome that caused the hiccups was very interesting. It just goes to show that doctors are human too, just well educated humans. So happy he finally got it taken care of.

That was several years ago and I have always wondered what happened to him and how he's doing. You have answered my question! I am so glad to see he's gotten rid of the hiccups he had.

    Wow! What an amazing and heart wrenching story. I’m so glad that if this happens to me or someone else I’m armed with knowledge of what to do. I do like these medical mystery stories. Along the lines of that may I ask your opinion on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome? It’s something I have and I feel it’s not taken very seriously by the general public. I’d love to see what you think of it and if there’s anything you know/have to say that I haven’t learned yet. Thanks in advance! Love your videos💕

    Ive been hiccuping since november of 2019. Thank you for this, given me a few more things to investigate as the cause. As well as seeing someone who went through what i have been and made it out intact.

    Hi Siobhan. I Love watching your videos. Incredibly interesting and the delivery is enthusiastic while endearing at the same time. Thanks for keeping them coming.
    I will get the hiccups immediately when I eat bread (perhaps intolerance to yeast) but THANK GOD they don't last for more than 5 min. or so. I couldn't imagine poor Chris and for him to come away from his experience with a sense of humor makes his story even more amazing. Thanks for sharing Chris!

    Wow. What an amazing story! But also how sad that it was missed with such a simple scan! As a first year med student I want to remember this and when there's something I don't understand that I reach out to other doctors and continue to advocate for them even when I don't know the answer!
    Also, I get the hiccups when I go to drink my Sparkling water (before I've taken a sip). Clearly my brain has some sort of psychosomatic response that my mom thinks is hilarious! Ah brain's are weird!

    What a brave man! I have heard the story of people having trouble getting help from their doctor too many times. So many doctors seem to be in a rush and worry more about seeing a certain number of patients than stopping and looking for answers to help one patient who is suffering. Very disappointing. Especially with the amount of money we all pay for insurance and doctor visits.

    Advocating for yourself is 100% important. Most people don’t take it seriously but after 20 years of still no ‘real’ diagnosis to a life full of odd symptoms- I spend a lot of my time explaining that I am the best expert in me and we need to worth ‘together’ to figure it out. The ones who don’t respond well to that notion don’t ever figure out my problems either and just show up their lacking

  • @thereseernest2589
    @thereseernest2589 Před 11 měsĂ­ci

    Thank you, Siobhan and Chris for this incredible story. I have struggled with A LOT of diseases. I always went to the Dr. with the "wrong attitude". I was ALWAYS looking for "a CURE"! Only recently, I have a different mind set! Doctors can TREAT symptoms, what do I have to do, on my part, to HELP the doctor? It took me over 20 YEARS to finally get that mindset, in the mean time I have had MANY, MANY surgeries and A LOT of "damage" to my organs, some irreversible, all because I was EXPECTING doctors to CURE me, and while they were doing that, I was just going to continue doing what I was doing, not changing a thing! I was extremely frustrated that they couldn't help. I got a lot of "you're EXTREMELY COMPLICATED"!!

  • @lizslilcorneroftheinstitution

    First I must give credit where credit is due… my oldest daughter first recommended your channel as she became a binge watcher herself! She knows how I’m a huge science/health/medicine nerd (and proud of it!) so she knew I’d love your channel. She was 100% correct. That was several years ago.
    Since then, I actually thought I’d seen most (if not all) of your videos but apparently I was wrong! I found this one because my dad recently had food poisoning. In the beginning of that, he developed hiccups that have not stopped. My dad calls me “Nurse Ratched” because when someone is sick, had surgery, etc in the family, I’m the one that does the obnoxious levels of research. Including the condition, the symptoms, the possible outcomes, the medications that can be used and even the backgrounds of the medical staff that will have anything to do with his treatment.
    But similarly to the man in this video, he’s being shooed away like an annoying fly. I’m trying to get him to agree to go see his general practitioner, but without scaring him to death. Every possible cause/complication you mentioned are issues that he has been diagnosed with or is a likely candidate for. But most especially, it caught my attention with the brain tumor. For reasons no one can explain, a high percentage of my blood relatives develop disease/disorders impacting the brain. Whether mental illness, strokes, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, benign brain tumors and malignant brain tumors. My dads brother died due to ‘benign’ brain tumors. My mom died due to 2 forms of brain cancer (glioblastoma Multiforme & Oligodendroglioma). So for me to hear mere mention of lesions, tumors or general conditions in the brain, puts me in a very serious state of mind.
    People, please be the best advocate you can for yourself and your loved ones when something with their health just doesn’t seem right! You may run into opposition. You may run into healthcare professionals who tell you it’s because “you’re getting old” or that it’s “all in your head”. Politely tell those practitioners to kiss your behind and find someone who will listen. I have no issue being told it’s “probably” getting old or “probably” all in your head if that practitioner is willing to rule everything else out first. I don’t expect miracles. I don’t expect a smooth experience especially where medical insurance is involved, but I do believe in fighting for proper treatment and care.
    Thank You to my favorite medical violinist!😊 And kudos to my daughter for sharing your channel with me!! ❤️

    I’m glad you found your answer, Chris.
    Sorry to hear about the tumor. I have had hiccups much, *much* longer than three years, but thank goodness mine are not constant. Oddly, they did not start until after I’d had a brain tumor removed.

      Have you heard of a keto diet ?. Apparently , the brain is significantly helped with ketones produced by keto. I've been ketogenic for 8 months ( it helps my mental health. ) . I learned about it from youtube.
