Ahh I just felt like ranting about hiccups. I haven't had hiccups in the longest time, and this whole day I kept getting them. So please enlighten me as to why we get hiccups.
 I know someone told me once before, but I can't remember...heh.

Someone once told me it was either because:
1. You swallowed too much air. It went down the wrong way. or 2. You ate too much. I think the first one is more accurate though. |

Because I wanted you to have hiccups since I knew you haven't had any in a while.

Here's one that might work.
Take a spoonful of sugar. Eat it. Drink water. It'll be gone. It works for me! Yeah, I thin hiccups are when you eat too much. Haha, happens to me all the time.

the longest attack of hiccups in the guinness book of records is 63 years. he just got them one morning, and 63 years later, they stopped miraculously. doctors had no cure for his attack, but this might help u when u get hiccups.
hold ur breath while drinking water mixed with sugar. it works for me! |

hiccups can be caused by eating too much, eating too quickly, an irritation in the stomach or throat, or feeling excited or nervous; these all irritate the diaphragm, which causes it to push up in a jerky way, affecting your breath and your voice box. this leaves you with a not-so-lovely hiccup.
yeah, i looked that up.

A really good way to stop them is squat, and gulp down a big mouthful of warm water. My dad uses it on his students all the time and it works :D. (because my dad is a violin teacher, and his students can't play when they have hiccups :D)

I hate hiccups. They're VERY annoying. I haven't had them in a LONG time. When I say long time I mean like 7 months.

Zombie topic..
I'm not sure how we get them, but I know how to get rid of them. :D Hold your breath for 30 seconds. And start over if you get another hiccup. Yep. |

You get hiccups from lack of oxygen. It's just your bodies way of telling you that you need to BREATHE more. Yes, go with what Eve said to get rid of them. Works for me.
