I usally try to hold my breath as long as possible and drink a big glass of water at the same time. and that usally works. I do find the more frustrated I get the worse they get, so just try to relax.

What could possibly go wrong?

Eat a spoonfull of sugar. As a last resort, if the other cures don't work.

you have to do a number of things at once to get rid of em.

Hold your breath
blink your eyes over and over again
swallow over and over again
dont forget to keep blinking
now while doing those three things at once, place the palms of your hands very close together and try to get your fingers as close as you can get them without touching. Don't forget to swallow and blink your eyes.
Still holding your breath?

I swear this shit works.

How to stop them depends on what caused them.

- a full stomach
- feeling of a full stomach
- stress/anxiety
- smoking an unusual amount

Full stomach can be caused by:

- Eating too much too fast.
- Drinking too much alcohol.

Full stomach feeling:

- Sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage.
- Chewing gum causes air to be swallowed.

Any clues?

Best solution - do a lot of slow stretching of your upper abdominal area in all directions.

Sit down, relax with no movement, then,

exhale slowly and so deeply that you feel starved for oxygen, but put up with for a long time, then slowly inhale but not deeply. Concentrate on controlling your diaphragm during the transition. Do two cylcles of this you are free of it!

Guaranteed, sorta.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

A while back, I used to chew a lot of gum while working. It gave me the hiccups, indigestion, and a sore throat.

I figured that it must be the gum chewing, so I did some reading while trying to figure it out.

All the sources say almost the exact same thing.

Last? Heck, it's become my first line of defense because it's the only thing that actually works.

[happythoughts 0]

I heard once that a pope died after having a hiccup for 23 years!

Oh,hiccup. i don't know how to fix it. But I thought my little story would make you feel better.

I know I'm late , but next time:
Breathe into a paper bag (or plastic bag). Breathe slowly and calm yourself. The CO2 will stop it.
Not sure how safe it is, but it works every time in about a minute .

And yet another.
Fill a small glass (e.g. juice-sized) with water. While standing, sip water from the far rim rather than the close one. Drink as much of the water as you can that way. You will have to bend deeply at the waist to do this.

This, too, really works. Better than the sugar.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

That's what I do all the time. I look a little silly, but it works!

My son swears that eating a cracker will cure the hiccups.

Hey Bill,,if you look closely, you will see she is naked by a winshield doing something,,,i've asked her for the story behind it, but nothing. Maybe you will have luck........................and now the absolute hic cup cure............fill a 6-8 oz glass with water,,,get a book of match's..open it all up,lite the match's,,,now put the burning match book out by sticking it in the glass,,,count to three and take the matchbook out,,quickly drink all the water in the glass. Its the sulfur residue that interacts in your airway thats stops the hic ups,,,chemical reaction,,,never failed me yet......wally

smile, be nice, enjoy life
