a fright, but I can't stop them.

I have had alot of luck with the following:



Put both your hands stretched to max above your head ... join the hands together .... take a deep breath in and hold your breath as long as possible .... this has worked at a very high success rate ... a trauma nurse taught me this ... i could have singultus for hours (hiccups) ... and this resolved my issue ...

Good luck!

Right I'm going into science geek mode now LOL

A hiccup is a spasm of the diaphram and back of the throat

like when you get cramp

so however you treat a cramp is how you should treat a hiccup

If you move the cramp, then swallow lots of times

or just relax and they should go.

I hope that made sense

Gently press on the soft flesh behind your ears. This is said to stimulate/reset the Vagus nerve, which may stop your hiccups. Just be careful not to press on your carotid arteries! Or you may pass out due to lack of blow flow to the brain. If you can feel a pulse, you're not in the right place!

Fill a teaspoon with sugar, and drop them in your mouth all the way to the back of the tongue, the part closest to the throat. Then swallow, or flush with a drink or something.

all you need to do is concentrate on something else. that's why people tell you to do something confusing!!! the bending over and drinking water upside down is a good one - try out of a water bottle, it's harder that way!

turn your head upside down (bend over) and take a drink of water, so that the glass is on the top of your mouth rather than the bottom. it really works good luck..........*hiccup..hiccup*

hold your breath and swallow a gulp of air 3 times whilst still holding your breath...not as easy as it sounds but it definately works every time!

get someone to put you under pressure to hiccup! Get them to say something like "Come on hiccup then, come on I though you had the hiccups"! or something like that. Works for me every time!

Ask someone to pinch you really hard lol it usualy takes your mind of the hic ups and you start focusing on the pain and then they just go away lol
