Chris Sands Hiccups Revealed Tumor

In 2010, a man named Chris Sands from Lincolnshire, England, had chronic hiccups for two and a half years and was told by doctors that heartburn was probably to blame. A Japanese TV crew picked up his story for a variety show and arranged further medical tests while filming. Those tests revealed a brain tumor that previous examinations had missed. Surgeons removed the tumor, his relentless hiccups stopped, and the operation may have saved his life.
