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.)
*Hic*
Wow! Liz method does work! Whatever the explanation may be, ya got me. Man I suffer from terrible hiccups, sooo hard and painful. This is the first thing ever that worked. I googled how to get rid of my hiccup cause it’s just making me so sick and it just would not stop. Amazing!!!!
try eating a teaspoon of honey. if that doesn’t work, then hold your breath and swallow 4-5 times.
2 different methods
Take a ball and place it under your armpit - either one. Squeeze it. In a restaurant, or public place, use an empty glass.
Tap gently on your forehead, in the centre, just above your nose. I tried this on a baby with instant results.
Try a spoonful of peanut butter!
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.
My work collegue cured me in a moment by dropping a key down my back, they stopped instantly.….sounds wierd but is a sure fire cure. It is now my party trick!!!!!
Get a friend to tell you… if you hicup one more time you owe me 100 dollars.. it actually works!
did you try anything yet? Let me know how it worked.…I have them for three days now.….OUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!

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!
okay i am one of those unlucky people who has had hiccups since before i was born. NOTHING works. i did however look up shis site and they were gone.
ive had the hiccups for days. it got me so pissed off that i punched myself in the chest,hard, it worked!

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!
