seriously, I haven't had the hiccups since high school and I only had the hiccups intentionally because I swallowed air in the same manner as one would do for a burp.

I only did that for an excuse to look cool and to have a dismissal from class so that I could go out into the hallway to get a drink of water.

I guess that after you force yourself to do something over a prolonged period of time, it's impossible to have things naturally.

I miss the hiccups.

i just breathe in and out extremely slow and visualize the hiccups going away.

my grandmother's cure - works every time-

fill a glass with water. get a butter knife and put in tip down and let it sit in the glass. put the tip of the knife closest to you, so it would be pointing at your belly button. now drink all the water, all the time keeping your eyes focused on the tip of the knife. its very important you focus your vision on the tip of the knife at all times and drink all the water in one go.

voila. hiccups gone.

...or just hold your breath for about 30 seconds and swallow [saliva] three times in the meanwhile.


p.s; not dissing your grandma. :p

This technique has never failed me:

Get a glass of any beverage you can gulp. Take a big swig, and with it *still in your mouth* put your head down between your legs (works if you are sitting too) and then swallow while your head is down. Repeat it 2 or 3 times, and you'll find your hiccups have gone. The head between your legs compresses the diaphragm, thus retarding the hiccups, while the swallowing eases the thorasic convulsions.

yeah, see that one has logic, but the sugar one doesn't. works though.

i'm going to try this next time and see if this really works. it sounds like it wouldn't, but i'm willing to try anything once.

A 99% success rate way of getting rid of hiccups is :

Take some deep breaths, then using the part of your hand under your thumb(palm side - no idea what its called!)place them over both your eyes until your vision blurs slightly (dont for too long - it hurts). You may hiccup once after this but they should go. My wife is a paramedic and in some book of hers it says hiccups are linked to some nerve behind the eye. It really does work.

[like2_drink]

zorra, howd you stumble upon this theory?:D

[jackrock]

Works EVERY TIME:

Get a good tall glass of water, put a kleenex tissue over the top, and drink the water through the tissue. If you're real hardcore use 2 tissues! You're thinking "Ew i don't want to drink kleenex pulp?!" well you won't.
