QOTD

How do you get rid of hiccups?

 Usually I just let them run the course, sometimes I try the holding breath trick.  

Re: QOTD

  • I let them run their course as well.

    Once in a while I will hold my breathe and concentrate on the next hiccup coming and after a few times they tend to stop.

  • If I knew how to stop them I would do it because I hate the hiccups. I've tried holding my breath but it never works.

  • This is going to sound really silly, but my Filipino uncle (who claims to be a Leprechaun) has a sure bet to get rid of them.

    You sit one the edge of a chair, cover your ear holes and nose holes with your fingers, and take a deep breath and hold it in. You then immediately bend over and hang your head below your knees.  Sit like that until you have to take a breath.  If it's done correctly, they'll be gone.

  • Mom (a nurse) taught me to take 9 gulps of water without breathing and they go away.  Works every time.

    Forget hiccups. I want to know more about this.
