Argh hiccups

[Deacan]

Whats the best bloody cure, just got in and have the bloody hiccups, can't get rid of them.

 

[SilverHood]

3 deep breaths, two short ones

repeat

otherwise, drinking some water also helps

 

[caLLous]

I just hold my breath for as long as I can - if I haven't passed out by the time I take a breath, my hiccups are usually gone.

Stand on one leg while patting your head and rubing your tummy. Then hop around a bit in the cold outdoors.

Have someone tell you that you own them money

 

[Will]

I go for holding my breath and swallowing. Always seems to work.

Hit your thumb with a hammer.

 

[Gray]

Holding your nose while drinking a cup of water works everytime.

As Will says

 

[Will]

I just swallow air and hold it in my throat. Easier, since I tend to get hiccups if I have to go anywhere after I've eaten.

 

[Gray]

glad you included the word "air" in that lil sentance

run up and down your street stark naked

(might not cure your hiccups but it'll give your nieghbours something to talk about)

 

[Skyler]

I hold my breath immediately after a hiccup.. a really deep breath and stay like that for as long as I can and by the time I finally breathe again they are completely gone... if this for any reason fails keep trying it and it will work.

The only thing that ever worked for me was to imagine a straight line (or use a straight line in a pattern in carpet/flooring etc.), then walk up and down it, keeping perfectly balanced on it, making sure that your heel touches your toe with each step. Go along about 5-10 metres, then come back.

It's probably just the concentration you use, but it works a treat.

Breath deeply, then a bit more, and a bit more, until you're bursting. Hold it for as long as you can, then very very slowly breath out.

Works for me.

 

[Athan]

I'm in the 'hold your breath' club, but it's not actually that simple, for me anyway.

Hold breath, *lock* the diaphragm, and keep like that for as long as you can BUT then do not just let it out, got to be gradual. If I just let the breath whoosh out again I find too often the involved muscles will take that as a cue to hiccup again.

[Wazzerphuk]

People who get hiccups are inferior.

 

[GekuL]

Anything that disrupts your breathing should work.

 

[Munkey]

misread the topic as "anal hiccups"....

i think i need more sleep

 

[Jonaldo]

Stab yourself in the leg. It might not stop the hiccups but it'll sure take your mind off em.
