Hiccups Options

[katssso]

I just had hiccups two nights ago, it was horrible i had to gulp it down with water. it lasted about 1/2 hour.

Get a cup full of water & a straw. with your thumbs hold your nose & with your index fingers press in your ears. Then drink out of the straw as fast (err, as much?) as you can. They'll be gone in no time.. and if it doesn't work, keep trying. That's what gets rid of my hiccups. Then I've also reached as high as I could (as in, reaching for the sky). It's supposed to help (it's never worked for me) because your diaphram is spazzing (or something? ) and that's supposed to help. Uhmm I dunno. I haven't had the hiccups in awhile.. knock on wood!

Ugh. Yes, I hate hiccups. But actually, when I do get them, I don't do anything. I just wait until it passes.

I hate hiccups.
Last time I had them I didnt breath for like 5 min [I was holding my breath] then I started choking.
I hate hiccups.
They tried killing me

i take a big drink of vinegar when I get hiccups, which I get very often. I always get them when I laugh too much

[maia_dc]

I thought it was when you don't get enough air, or something. Because when you laugh really hard you don't have time to breathe. But I could be wrong.

Hahaha, I always get the hiccups at the most embarassing moments.

I hate hiccups... they're annoying
I hold my air until I cough, and they're done for

[xlauren73x]

my friend told me this.. and it works all the time for me

fill up a glass of water.. and tilt your head and sip from the other side of the glass. your head will be almost upside down. just take sips and they should go away

[Aestuarium]

I tilted my head while reading it... that's difficult... I'd rather hold my breath ;)

i hate hiccups. one time i had it so bad that i threw up in my mouth, but started to choke cuz i had just ate and not all the food had gone down...pretty nasty right?

Anyway, i would hold my breath or my family would try and scare me. They didn't, but what made me stop was thinking how stupid they looked scarying me.

[toodlepops.]

I haven't had hiccups an a long time. Now that I've said it, I'm gonna get jinxed and get hiccups.

[iL0v3CaPtAiN0AtS]

[2 wordsTomFelton...]

^ wtf?!? [/spam]

i hate hiccups, i just recently stopped it. i think it is from the lack of air going into your throat, I've choked a little, and started to hiccup. and the only way i get rid of them, is to try not to think about it :D

eidt://I found a site (for kids) about hiccups, and i like to post it up

"Hic!" You've just hiccuped for what seems like the tenth time since you finished your big dinner. Wonder where these funny noises are coming from? The part to blame is your diaphragm (say: die-uh-fram). This is a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of your chest, and all hiccups start here.

The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. It pulls down when you inhale to help pull air into the lungs, and it pushes up when you exhale to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated, and when this happens, it pushes up in a jerky way that makes your breath come out differently from how it normally does. When this irregular breath hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup.

Some things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or feeling nervous or excited. Almost all cases of the hiccups last only a few minutes. Some cases of the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual, and it's usually a sign of another medical problem.

You've probably heard lots of suggestions for how to get rid of hiccups, and maybe you've even tried a few. Holding your breath and counting to 10 is one way some people can get rid of their hiccups; other people say that drinking from the "wrong" side of a glass of water is the way to become hiccup-free. Putting sugar under your tongue might work, too. And maybe the most famous treatment - having someone jump out and scare you when you're not expecting it - helps some people wave good-bye to their hiccups.
