Hiccup remedies

Slight departure here from the usual fare, but does anyone have a sure-fire way of getting rid of hiccups?

I’ve been suffering for most of two days with constant, violent hiccups. It’s gotten to the point that my gut hurts from all the spasms. It’s even painful to breathe.

I’ve tried all the traditional remedies; getting startled, drinking upside down, holding my breath, plugging my ears and swallowing. Some of this has worked to varying degrees, but the dang things keep coming back.

(Now watch, I’ll have the number one site for hiccup remedies in Google within the week.)

Wow. Liz’s focus on a word or letter trick really DOES the trick! I had doubts, but I really suggest it everyone! Thanks LIZ!

try eating a teaspoon of honey. if that doesn’t work, then hold your breath and swallow 4-5 times.

2 different methods

  1. Take a ball and place it under your armpit - either one. Squeeze it. In a restaurant, or public place, use an empty glass.

  2. Tap gently on your forehead, in the centre, just above your nose. I tried this on a baby with instant results.

I know a way my fourt grade teacher told me. if you sit indian style in a corner put your middle and pointer fingers on each of your eyes and say somebodys name for each letter of the alphabet… like A is abigail B is breanna and so on so forth untill you think the hicups are gone.

GUARANTEED! Take a deep breath and blow it out, take a big gulp of water then bend backward over the arm of a couch so that the arm is in the middle of your back. Slowly swallow water. The max I’ve had to do this is 3 times. Doesn’t seem to work well when I try it laying upside off my bed. The angle of the couch works best.

Drink a cup/glass of water with a paper towel covering the rim.

A friend told me this one years ago and it has worked every time I’ve used it. Sit upright in a chair with your arms hanging down to your side. Have someone hold a cup of water to your mouth and take 3-5 drinks. Abracadabra, they’re gone!
