How do you get rid of the hiccups ?? These are driving me insane.

snowy

Hold your breath for as long as you can stand it. Then repeat until they finally go away.

My college roomate had a sure-fire 90-second hiccup cure.

Hold your breath as deeply as you can for thirty seconds. Then breath SLOWLY in and out as deeply as you can for thirty seconds. Then hold your breath deep again for another 30 seconds. Stay with this process, even if the hiccups stop in the middle.

His theory was, the first 30 seconds gets the diaphragm's attention, the second 30 shows it what it's supposed to be doing, and the last 30 is just for good measure.

Burp. It always works for me.

I can't stand the hicups. My hicups really hurt.
My daughter loves having hicups, she thinks they are funny.

Thorazine.




Really, go ahead and look it up.



OK, you don't have access to thorazine (which is the only drug that has shown any benefit), so then you must hypoventilate to retain CO2 and cause a respitatory acidosis. A paper bag is the easiest way to fascilitate a decreased respiratory rate during a case of hiccups ( or is it hiccoughs?).

My method is like a couple above but simplier, but I never have had it fail.

Take in a deep breath, hold as long as you possibly can. Then let it out as slow as you possibly can. Then instead of letting in a HUGE breath after, just try to breath in as normal.
Hiccups gone!

Spidey

the simpliest method is to drink a large glass of water. What it does is relaxes the muscle that causes the hiccups while you are drinking. Works everytime

i just breathe in and out very deeply and fairly quickly. Usually works fairly quickly.
And while i'm at it, to get rid of a bloody nose, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. (fairly deep breathes through nose to dry out blood)

I'm the only person that I know if that actually get the hiccups after drinking alcohol.


I pass out and whe I wake up they're gone.

Some people say eating a teaspoon of sugar. Some people stand on their head for as long as necesary. Some people say to drink water from the 'other side' of the glass. However, I have found that the breathing (or lack of) technique works quite well for me.

Of course.... knockin yourself out w/ vicodin never hurt anyone.

LoL thats awesome, and for the most part I'll have to agree. Wake up with a hangover... drink beer... feel good, get tired, pass out. Everything is better.... repeat


LoL, well I guess thats maybe not the best way to go through life, but if you mix in some water before you pass out you can prolong the fun.

Drink water. Laugh. Jump. Run. I just try to ignore them and get on with action, they soon disappear after a couple minutes max.

I tried all of these ways and the best one that seems to work for me is a spoonful of peanut butter. I dont know how this works but it just does.

I have the hiccups.

What do you do to get rid of hiccups, mes amis?

battlemouth

hold a paper towel over a glass of water than drink the water through the papertowel from the cup.

This method always works for me.

It requires a partner. Drink out of drinking fountain while someone else is pushing in the folds of skin that sort of hang over your ear canals. If done right, your hiccups should be no more.

fill a small glass with water and, leaning forward and bending over, drink the water from the opposite side of the glass.

Eat some bread, and hold your breath.

When you hiccup, you are essentially sucking air in. That being said, the surest cure for hiccups is to prevent yourself from sucking in air. The only way I can do it, is to completely fill my lungs with air. I mean every last drop of air you can fit into your lungs. Partial measures will yield no success.

Fill your lungs with air and hold it as long as you can. I've never seen this method fail.

Yay, this thread shall come in handy for me. I also suffer from the hiccups that never stop. Seriously, once I get them, they last for hours. The only useful method I've come up with for stopping them is to literally talk myself out of it. Sounds weird, but its the only thing that helps. *shrug*

I usually pinch my nose and hold my breath for as long as possible. That usually does the trick. I can't drink huge amounts of cold water so I stick with my "turn blue in the face" method instead.

I found this works well,

Get a large glass of water, exhale all air in your lungs, plug your nose. Then as much water as you can. May take a few attempts, but it ususally works for me.

twotimesadingo

when people ask me how to cure hiccups, i tell them something ridiculous: "beat yourself about the head with a spatula," or "jump up and down and sing 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat,'" and then i take pictures of them and laugh when they start crying.
sure enough, the hiccups are gone once they start concentrating on how to get the camera away from me.

Have someone punch you in the gut several times....HARD! Two things, you expel the air that is trapped in your stomach because of the tight muscles. Secondly, if hit hard enough you won't even think about the hiccups anymore.
