Anyone have a fool proof cure for hiccups?
Question:
I've had 'em for nearly 4 hours AND THEY'RE DRIVING ME FRIGGIN' CRAZY! CRAZY I SAY! HELP MEEEEE!
Answers:
Hiccups result from involuntary spasms of the diaphragm. Many people get them after meals, and they can go on for hours if not brought to a halt. These tricks can bring a case of the hiccups to a welcome end. Success varies depending on the individual's response and the severity of the hiccups. Find the technique that works best for you and stick with it.
Steps:
1. Hold your breath for 30 seconds and then release it.
2. Breathe into a paper bag five times in a row.
3. Sip 10 consecutive gulps slowly from a glass of water without stopping to take a breath.
4. Immerse your face in ice-cold water for 30 seconds.
5. Swallow a teaspoon of dry white granulated sugar.
6. If you began hiccuping after taking a medication, seek medical help. Also see a doctor if the hiccups don't stop after 24 hours (3 hours for young children) of if they are extremely painful.
Other Answers:
Just try breathing regularly, in and out, and deeply, for a couple minutes. Do not hold any of your breaths. Hiccuping is a spasm of the diaphragm, so breath normally to get it back in line.
try taking those anti-acid pills (those meant for gastric etc). it helps.
