Cures for the hiccups?

Gihgehls

I have had the hiccups for about 2 hours now and I can't sleep or do anything productive. I've tried scaring myself with a paper bag. I've tried eating sugar packets and holding them in my mouth, but nothing is working. Please help me cure my hiccups!

Booh!

Seriously, it works if someone does it right.

Have someone punch you in the stomach.

Burping.

It works for me, anyway.

Gihgehls

That was so horrible. I am still having spasms of the diaphragm.
EDIT: I think the burping worked.
EDIT II: false alarm. I still have them.

Eat some dicks.

Always works.

Gihgehls

Man, I really don't appreciate the trolling. I don't have any dicks handy anyway.

This works everytime if you do it right. Honest to god.


Put your finger on each of your Tragus





And press really hard. I mean so hard it starts to hurt. Then push harder for about ten to fifteen seconds.

No Hiccups.

For the record: Sil is my hero. I can breathe again. This thread is over as far as I'm concerned.

Is it Tragii?

I always drink from the opposite side of the glass. The concentration required to bend over and tip the glass in the right way always seems to work..

Alright, THIS IS REALLY THE MOST LIKELY ONE TO WORK.

Take a deep breath as deep as you can, hold it for a sec, and then blow it out until there is absolutely no air left in your lungs. Repeat about 5-10 times. It will be gone. Its the only thing that works for me.

That ear thing worked? That's fucking crazy.

It always works in my experience. If it doesn't you didn't do it hard enough.



Also, np Gihgehls. I'm always pleased to share this ancient wisdom

All I do is hold my breath for 30-40 seconds solid and hold it uh...really hard..if that makes any sense. Sorta tense up while you hold it. You will probably have to concentrate on it quite hard to stop yourself from hiccupping while you hold your breath. May take a few tries even. This method has always worked for me.

i'm betting it's more mental than anything

Silmaril

I've never known it to fail.

i think i just made this one up out of nowhere but its worked for me, actually had to do it last night and was aces

take a big sip of water, tilt your head back, open your mouth, and swallow
its not easy to swallow like this, but i think its better if you dont do it cleanly
like swallow just a little bit at a time, and do it pretty sloppily
so you should have to do it a few times to get all the water out of your mouth, and might feel like gagging on some of it on the way
i think that gagging is what you want cos you can feel it at the same place where you feel the hiccups from

and see how it goes

In the past what always worked for me was emptying a sugar packet on my tounge and holding it there for a minute. I think it has to do with concentrating on not inhaling the stuff.
