hiccups

Hey, just curious, what is the deal with hiccups and end of life. I was reading something yesterday and that is supposedly one of the signs of approaching death. I know I have seen this twice. Anybody else? And why?

Beats me. I worked in palliative care and before that in medicine where many patients passed away and I can't recall seeing hiccups before death.

Ah, that's different. That I have seen. I understood the OP as asking about hiccups just prior to death.

I've seen lots of people die, never seen any with hiccups. I'll be sure to watch for that next time.

This topic caught my eye as I had a pt last weekend with hiccups. Doctor prescribed xanax. Now I read that benzos aggravate hiccups! :(
