Gitsie Gutwrench 10 months agoI take a deep breath and hold it until it hurts. I do that until the hiccups go away. Sometimes I drink a glass of water while I hold my breath.

I take a deep breath through my nose and continue trying to suck more air in until I can’t get more in and can’t hold it anymore… Then I let some air out through my mouth and suck more in through my nose and do the whole thing all over again until i think the hiccups stopped or I just get sick of doing that… It actually seems to work pretty well. I’m on a medication that seems to make me hiccup more frequently and this method seems to work better than anything else I’ve tried.

chadk6 11 months agoI have 2 ways which are the same basic concept.
1. Get a glass of water, inhale until you can inhale anymore. While holding your breath. Drink the water without releasing any air. Hiccups should be cured after swallowing about 4 or 5 sips.
2. Inhale until you can inhale anymore. while holding your breath in, just swallow 5 times. It will get harder as you continue to swallow. But works every time.
Hope this helps! -

Kee L. 11 months agoThe issue is that your diaphragm (the main muscle of breathing, located just below your lungs) goes into spasm. The result is hiccups. If you can learn to isolate your diaphragm, you can always stop hiccups. This is what I do: Sit up straight (or stand), Exhale completely. Take a half breath, then hold it. Tighten your abdominal muscles and draw them in and upwards. Hold your breath until just before you have to gasp for breath. Exhale slowly, then pause. Inhale slowly through your nose. Continue to breathe slowly and evenly for a dozen or so breaths. That should do it. I never hiccup more than once. (My friend taught this to me years ago. It really works).

krisy 11 months agoMy cure comes from an understanding of what causes hiccups in the first place. A hiccup is the rapid movement of air caused my a spasm in your diaphragm (the muscle that controls your breathing). To counteract this I place my hands like I’m giving myself the Heimlich maneuver which stabilizes the diaphragm and then I hold my breath for as long as I can. This basically keeps the muscle from moving and it will relax.

littleainge 11 months agoI get these really awful, loud hiccups that are majorly embarrassing. Even after I make them go away, they tend to come back. Often in spurts. (a few days of hiccups on and off and then weeks without them). I also hiccup just once when I’m hungry and again after I eat. To get rid of them, I place a pencil horizontally across my mouth and then drink past it. That or drinking upside down usually works. I’ll have to try the mental tricks for when I’m in public.
