What's your miracle cure for hiccups?

[bak00777]

I hold my breath and do a math problem in my head, usually multiplication.

Heavy concentration usually alters blood flow and breathing. It affects the hiccups and 98% of the time, makes them go away. I personally try to move something with my mind. They're gone after a few seconds. Sadly, though, the object never moves

Personally i drink some water head down.... the trick to do that is to put your lips the opposite side of the glass... It works quite well for me

 

[Combustion Kevin]

take a big breath,

hold it,

tense stomach muscles,

burp.

presto!

 

[Zealous]

This is pretty unconventional and a little weird but... I just wait for them to end. Crazy I know, but there you have it.

Aren't most 12 year olds virgins?

Not in medieval Europe.

 

[Pinkamena]

I just hold my breath until I think I'm going to die. No idea why it works, but it does.

Drinking the blood of a 12 year old virgin always worked for me.

For me it's very simple. Stretch my arms over my head and hold my breath for 15 seconds. It works everytime, although sometimes I have to do it twice.

 

[Saulkar]

Holding my breath for ten seconds always works for me, always.

 

[Adeptus Aspartem]

I take a deep breath and then breath out every last bit of air and try to hold that as long as possible until i give in and breath normally again.

Worked everytime sofar.

My ex had a funny but effective method. He'd yell at me "STOP HICCOUGHING." And I sort of always did.

Miracle cure? E-E-Excuse me?

Hiccups are a blessing! Very few things can make you garner instant attention and make you infinitely more adorable to the man/woman/intermediate/unidentified person of your dreams!

I say that you should embrace your hiccups, fall in love and base your entire relationship off an involuntary spasm.

You'll thank me later

Bend over and drink water out of the wrong side of the glass.

It actually messed me up so I almost never get hiccups now.

 

[Jadak]

Not sure why but drinking out of the wrong side of a cup usually works for me. It's currently at around a 90% success rate. Just be careful as it's easy to make a mess.

What the heck is the 'wrong side' of a cup?

 

[keniakittykat]

LEMON JUICE, just regular over the counter, no drinking upside down while holding your breath in mid-air because you're jumping through a hoop of fire, lemon juice!

[Owyn_Merrilin]

Hold your breath.
If that doesn't work,
Hold your breathe, but keep trying to suck in air until you reach your upper air limit. (You should feel a large pressure in your chest because of the air.)
wait 3 seconds, then let it all out.

Hiccups should be gone now.

I do the same thing, but I also thump my fist against my sternum.

It helps dislodge any gas trapped under the diaphragm.

The combination of full inhalation and percussion stops my hiccups every time.

That can actually be deadly. Contrary to the myth, your heart doesn't temporarily stop when you have a hiccup, but you are extra vulnerable to having it permanently stop due to getting, say, hit in the chest.

Also, what's this about crazy hiccup cures? I had no idea this was seriously a thing. I always just drink something, anything will do as long as there's enough of it (by which I mean water, soda, juice, it doesn't matter as long as it's wet and it's more than a mouthful). I didn't realize anyone tried anything else outside of cartoons.

 

[Upbeat Zombie]

Drinking a lot of water seems to always do the trick for me.
Never had any luck with holding my breath or anything else. And mine don't really go away on their own they'll keep going for hours if I just try to wait it out.

I stick a long needle into my skin at the C7 vertibrae. Clears it right up.
