Jabba 18389 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I got a sure fire cure. You don't have to breath into a bag. You don't have to fart on your grandma's grave... Got a hiccup problem? I'll send you the cure. Or, if you have a better cure - write it down here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Usually my cause of hiccups is when I'm eating and the food hasn't gone all the way down the pipe so to speak Solution, a big glass of water, chug it down, and whatever food is lodged gets dislodged and the hiccups from the lodged food goes away too RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futileresistenz 28253 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Take a deep breath and hold it in until you sense you need to take another one. Helps to wait another 1-2 seconds. Usually does it for me. FR 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I find that any sort of breathing exercise that makes you get back control of your diaphragm will get rid of them pretty quickly. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mrrnice2 157005 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 Oh God. Hiccups! I don't get them often but usually the holding your breath or a drink of water with your ears covered seems to help. The reason I say Oh God is a story that I never ever want to repeat. Many years ago I was in hospital for hernia surgery. It was so many years ago that at that time it was not a send you home the same day thing but I was in for 3 or 4 days. Anyway, they decided that I had a reaction to the anesthetic, a very rare reaction. I got the hiccups, but not just any hiccups. These were like the real deal! Deep down full body right from the abdominal area every single one wanting to rip open the stitches kind of hiccups. And there was not one thing that worked. Thirty second intervals with fourteen hours of pain. I would not have wished it on my worst enemy!!! So Jabba, wish I had known you and your surefire cure! :) Never again please!

Guest *Ste***cque** Report post Posted September 27, 2012 I'm with Meg. You place a heaping spoonful of sugar on your tongue and slowly sip a glass of water at the same time. As the sugar dissolves and you finish the glass of water, your hiccups will be gone. This has worked with every person I've mentioned it to. Try it next time you have the hiccups, if you're skeptical. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NotchJohnson 214123 Report post Posted September 27, 2012 What I have been told by my grandfather was to take a teaspoon full of sugar(just like what Meg said) and saturate the sugar with vinegar(just like Serena said). PS. do not over fill the spoon with vinegar cause the sugar will melt and fall off the spoon. In a quick motion swallow the whole thing(sweet and sour at the same time) and the hiccups will stop immediately. I have done this many of time and it never failed to work.
