Hiccups

[Back]

Whats the best way to get rid of them?

[Drew]

Hold your breath until you're about to pass out. When you think you're about to die, breathe in slowly.

[NocturnalRob]

drink a bottle of vodka. pass out. no more hiccups.

[Fallen]

I once had hiccups for 3 1/2 hours, which were the most accutely long lasting 3.5 hours of my life.

I suggest small intakes of breath followed by sips of water. You need to get to the point where you cannot breath in anymore, but you keep trying to pull in more and taking sips of water. If you hiccup, start over.

[The Ponzzz]

Holding your breath is the best way. I tend to just drink water for 10-20 seconds, while never breathing. About 90% of the time that works. The other 10%, I just keep at holding my breath (without drinking water).

[Anailea]

a spoonful of sugar works most of the time.

[AestheticDeath]

The most common way is to equalize pressure. Some people do it the hard way, drinking water upside down or some such...

The easiest way I have been able to do it, is to plug your ears and swallow. 90% of the time that works for me. Though I had hiccups like a week or two ago and NOTHING I did would make them go away.

But honestly - just GOOGLE it!

[Augie]

OMG I have the best way of getting rid of hiccups - works like a charm every time. I call it the moose face. Basically it has to do with plugging your ears and drinking.

Hold your hands by the side of your face and plug your ears with your thumbs (like when you were a kid and made the nyah nyah nyah face).

Lean forward and grab a glass of water with your hands, while keeping your ears plugged.

Lean back and drink the water.

VOILA! Hiccups will be gone.

You look a little goofy doing it but it works like a charm.

[radamanthys]

Just burp- it works like a charm. If you can't burp, drink a bit of water and try again.

[Soulpieced]

Here is the 99.999% surefire Soulpieced way of getting rid of hiccups.

1. At first sign of hiccups, suck in a large amount of air.
2. Swallow said air.
3. You should burp in your throat if you did it right.
4. Hold breath for as long as you reasonably can.
5. ???
6. Hiccups gone (profit!).

[Nieninque]

stop breathing

[Gan]

I use a meditation trick, it works within a minute or two.

Wash your hair.

[Gan]

Wash your hair.

ROFL

heh. Now every time someone gets the hiccups I’m going to tell them to wash their hair. Just for the reaction to such a random statement.

I haven’t had the hiccups in years. After I posted that I sat on the couch and used my Jedi breathing control to make them go away.

[Asile]

I get hiccups all the time. Half the time they're totally random too.

If they've just started, I'll try to hold my breath--sometimes that works. If it doesn't....my only surefire cure is a big spoonful of creamy peanut butter, maybe 2 if they're REALLY bad.

Sometimes I wonder if I get the hiccups so my body can cue me into a peanut butter craving.

PS: I'm so very glad I wasn't like that girl in Florida who had the hiccups for something like MONTHS. I got them at work once and it took well over 30 minutes for them to go away, and I thought I'd shoot myself (stupid office kitchen not having a jar of peanut butter in there!).

[Blud]

I find when I take my mind off of them, they go away...

The best trick I have found is to do math problems in my head, ones that are solvable in my head, but take a lot of thinking, like squaring triple digit numbers or such. Sometimes I convert decimal numbers into binary, octal, or hex in my head.

Works for me.

[Arkans]

Best remedy and you'll NEVER get them again.

Take a handgun (actually, any fire arm works)

Aim at your temple and fire. I promise you a thousandfold that you will never hiccup again.

[radamanthys]

Oh, yes. That worked! Thanks!

[Jorddyn]

A couple teaspoons of baking soda in a about half a cup of warm water.

Tastes like crap, makes you burp, works every time (for me).

[Bregus]

Like the movie Bulletproof with Adam Sandler and Damon Wayans. But that was Hollywood.. I'm pretty sure odds are you get shot in the head = you die.

[Bregus]

Oh yea, and if you drink a coke upside down through a straw with your ears plugged, woa!

[g++]

Aiming at your temple specifically increases the chance you will survive. In fact you might even still have the hiccups, you just wont be coming up with any more clever plans for getting rid of them. If you actually wanna kill yourself aim for the brain stem in the back of the head. I mean either way your chances of survival are slim but if your life was bad before the full frontal lobatomy......

[NocturnalRob]

No.

I hate you so much.

[Stanley Burrell]

SUCK A DICK UP TIL YOU HICCUP MUDDAFUCKAZ!

The saga continues.

Wu-Tang.



Do diaphragmatic breathing + child's pose meditation and then do long-ass chest stretches for like 3 or 4 minutes.

When someone tells me they have a headache I usually respond with “lop your head off”.
