Managing Hiccups!?

Three suggestions that will cure most hiccups. they sound strange but it has been proven to work. 1) hold your breath and swallow 3 times if you have water drink the whole glass while holding your breath. 2) drink a glass of water by putting your mouth on the outer ring of the glass and bend forward so you can drink it or 3) have some one scare the crap out of you. (last one does not work sometimes but it is funny)

Lol, good luck. A teenage girl in my neighborhood was all over the news across America because she had hiccups for an extended period of time (we're talking weeks). I believe what finally worked for her was being hypnotized...while she was in a trance they went away, but then they came back a few days later. She still has them now, nothing has brought on a permanent solution. Here are two things you can try that offered her at least some temporary relief:

1. Eat a spoonful of sugar, followed by another.

2. Breath into a paperbag until they subside.

Hiccups have something to do with your esophagus touching your.. liver or something like that. All I know is when you try to swallow too much at one time you tend to get them. Whoever mentioned that its for oxygen... Thats yawning folks. Anyways, solutions usually involve holding breath and drinking water. Not at the same time for me.

PEANUT BUTTER!!!!

The only thing that has ever worked for me when I get hiccups is to eat a spoonful of peanut butter. I SWEAR THIS WORKS for me EVERY TIME! I can't remember where I heard it, but I thought it was weird at the time, then I remembered it the next time I had them, and tried it. Worked....and now I do it every time.

Hiccups usually happen when you're not taking in enough oxygen. It's the bodies way of leveling the oxygen with that little jerky intake of air causing that 'HIC' sound. Taking several deep breaths should remedy that. BUT if it persists maybe you should mention it to your doctor on your next visit.

I'm not really sure the best way for hiccups but i know sugar helps.

may sound really strange, but worked for me and I have used it many times. With a very serious look on your face ask the person if they are ready to pay back the $20 they owe you. They feel a moment of panic for not remembering then focus on trying to remember and the focus seems to distract them nicely.
