hiccups Options

[clarity]

So i had them like hours hours ago, then they came back.. then they went away and now two hours later.. they're back. I did all those things your suppost to do. What's wrong with me?

[*This Confession*]

I just hold my breathe.

I don't think anything is wrong with you.

Anyway you get hiccups by the diaphragm will contract with a series of quick spasms. This sudden tightening draws in a rapid gulp of air. At the same time, your vocal cords close. The air rushing over the vocal cords makes them vibrate, causing the hiccup sound.


to get rid of them


1. Swallow 1 tsp. white table sugar, dry. A study found that this stopped hiccups immediately in 19 out of 20 people. Repeat up to three more times at 2-minute intervals if necessary.
2. Gulp down a glass of water if the sugar doesn’t work.
3. Eat a piece of dry bread slowly.
4. Breathe in and out of a paper bag. Do not use a plastic bag under any circumstances, and don’t do this longer than 1 minute.
5. Gargle with water (see ‘How to Gargle’).
6. Repeat the above steps until your hiccups stop.
