I never get hickups.


furckinshiitohcrapsImtiredofthis

after an afternoon long I'm @#$%% tired of my stomach lung diaphragm spasming,


how do YOU kill hickups!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold your breathe and take 10 continuous sips of water from a glass without taking in any air. Works every time for me.

So my wife's solution is to sip water "upside down". Just use your top lip and bend over to sip some water. I've had success with it.

Me too, this always works for my family do it for 30 seconds straight

I've heard of putting a ball of peanut butter or some honey in your mouth.

I think it has something to do with distraction. Makes sense when you think about the water and a hundred other 'remedies'.

*hides around corner*





BOOOOOOOOOO!!!





There did I scare them away?

:D

Get a plastic cup half filled with water. clamp the cup with your ball or your palm/wrists and drink water while plugging your ears with your index fingers and breathe out your nose while swallowing the water. It works!

Concentration
 

Take a book and go somewhere quiet. Pick any page and stare hard at a period in any sentence. Stare hard...concentrate and repeat these words over and over in your mind. "I will not hiccup again...I will not hiccup again...I will not hiccup again". Block out everything else going on around you and concentrate. Don't give up to soon. It will take you a couple minutes to get control of the reflex.

Works every time for me unless I've had a few drinks. Then I can't concentrate hard enough.

Works every time, all right.

Drink a glass of water upside down (bending over) as was mentioned above. The whole glass, not a few sips. Throw some coffee/chili rubbed pork chops on the grill and you'll be fine.

Holding my breath works for me, but I'm intrigued about "clamp the cup with your ball." Do you do anything special with the other one?

Ha! Hold the cup any way you can while plugging your ears at the same time.

Sing. hickups are a "nervous" diaphragm.

when you sing, you control your breathing ie your diaphragm

A swift kick in the nuts.

Repeat as necessary.

Swallow a teaspoonfull of granulated sugar. No, I'm not making this up.

We have a spammer, reported.

Are you taking any pain meds? Certain pain meds would give me uncontrollable hiccups and nothing would stop it...

My mother taught me that method, and it's never failed for me.

no way..

take a small glass of water. light a paper match, and let it burn for a few seconds. drop the lit match into the water. sip the water right away. drink it all. dont swallow the match!

100% success for me.

I've used that with success also. Funny how these methods get spread around.

+1 - Works for the majority of folks.

A girl I dated swore nothing ever cured her hiccups. Sugar did immediately.

Put on your used shoes, go for a drive in your E46 with any spoons you may own, hurry back home and have a cup of coffee from your Keurig and then compartmentalize until they go away.

That is pretty specific. :D

OK, here's one that might seem 'off the wall'.

Stand or sit up straight. "ground yourself". Those of you who do Yoga know what I'm talking about, same thing as if you were trying to 'set yourself' for wrestling.

While breathing naturally, take one hand and pass it downward over your chest as if you were slowly trying to brush something off a parka that bulked out a couple of inches from your body. Or you can have someone else do the "brushing"

I don't understand why it works, but it does.

Bingo, Phil. Throw it toward the back of the throat and swallow. Works every single time.

Peanut butter...spoonful. 100% success (and I get them often)

Also have had luck with holding my breath... hold until you are gasping for air... then slowly as you can breath in through your mouth.

My older brother always told me to hold my breath for 10 minutes and they would be gone.

Swallow a spoonfull of bitters. 100% success for me.

My brother discovered an unconventional cure once, and it has worked every time since. Sucks though, since it is best explained as a swift punch to the solar plexus to wind you, works every time! Just not sure it is better than hiccups

While plugging your ears tightly with your fingers, take a few sips of water.

Works every time!

Squirt a little lemon juice into the back of your throat. Hold it there 15 seconds then swallow.

It appears that anything that distracts you from thinking about having hiccups will work.

I just hold my breath.

Lifestyle and home remedies

Although there's no surefire way to stop hiccups, if you have a bout of hiccups that lasts longer than a few minutes, the following home remedies may provide relief:
Breathe into a paper bag
Gargle with ice water
Hold your breath

Teaspoon (or tablespoon) of sugar has always worked for me.
It relates to something about absorbing water in the esophagus with following reactions below.

Massage the 5th vertabrae in your neck (C5).
Hickups will stop almost instantly.
Learned that trick from my chiropractor.

Putting a knife in a glass of water is pretty effective for me. Often I can just visualize a knife in a glass and they stop. Weird.

Swallowing one to two teaspoons of granulated sugar ALWAYS works or me.
