Hiccups

[spup1122]

I've tried everything I know to do and they won't go away. Someone help! These are the kind that hurt.

Make yourself throw up; works every time.

 

[spup1122]

So does sucking on hard candy, until this time.

 

[pallister]

So did you make yourself throw up?

 

[spup1122]

No, but while researching online, I found out that marijuana supposedly helps. Where the hell can I get bud at 1:30 a.m. in the midwest?

Take a glass of water, fill it 3/4 of the way full.

Place it on the kitchen counter.

Bend over and drink out of the glass as much as you can from the far side without picking it up.

I've seen this work but never actually tried it.

You are having hiccups because you are out of your regular breathing pattern. It is very random and there is no know cure but I have always found that if I hold my breath a few times it usually clears quickly.

Yeah, that didn't work. I tried. I even tried swallowing (my air.. nothing else.. jerks. :) )

Usually, holding my breath to a count of 10 does the trick.

Problem solved. I took a big breath, swallowed it, and then pushed out on my stomach and chest as much as possible. Put enough pressure on the diaphragm to flip it back to its correct position.

Dear Penthouse, I never thought this would happen to me, but...

I've always been able to get rid of them by holding my breath and continually taking in more air. Then, when I can't take it any more, I take the biggest gulp of water I can.

Is the epiglottis the diaphragm?

What are you talking about? What else would you have meant?

I always thought that was a "cure" offered solely by people wanting to be entertained by their hiccup-inflicted and soon-to-be-drenched friends.

Yeah, and... ;)

But I have seen it work several times...

Eat a spoonful of sugar.

Hiccups are caused by a lack of oxygen in your body. Take deep breaths, drink (or chug) a lot of water and stop drinking caffine.

This is why every cure has to do with water or breathing.

Alcohol takes water out of your body, and this water is what gives you your oxygen. This is the reason why drunks hiccup. Alcohol also causes cramps (lack of oxygen) and those cute 3 am calf spasms I used to have in college.
