Hiccups like C R A Z Y!!!?


Question:
I have had the hiccups on and of since lunch and its really starting to bother me! I had a turkey sanwhich with cheese and barbecue chips. I also had a sprite! But I have had this meal for lunch quite a lot and have never goten the hiccups. I have had them on and off for a time period of 45minutes to an hour. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Answers:
Take a canned drink (anything carbonated, room temp if possible), and pour it into a glass with ice. As you pour, position your mouth closely over the top of the glass and take a couple of deep breaths. The combination of the Carbon Dioxide and liberated oxygen should cause the spasms in your diaphram to stop. Works everytime for me.
take a deep breath an hold it for 30 sec. then release
Hold you breath and swallow three times, if this doesnt work...drink pickle juice! always works for me!
Nope.. Sry. Maybe call your doctor and ask him what to do. Or next time try eating slower. Wish I could help though! Hope they go away soon! :)
hold your breath till you cant any more than they should be gone works for me every time.
A good scare might work...YOUR PREGNANT!...are they gone?
Slowly, slowly eat sugar. About 1 Tablespooon.
Or
Try to drink water on the opposite rim of the glass.<--now that's hard.
There was an article on Yahoo news (probably still there) about a lady who had been hiccuping for a long time. It turned out that the prescription nose spray Astelin stopped it immediately.

My husband gets them for 2-3 days at a time and we've not had success ever getting them to go away. We'll try Astelin next time.

You look ridiculous doing this, but it works for me every single time.

Put a spoon in a full glass of water. Spoon-side-down. Bring the glass to your lips and set the end of the spoon handle against your forhead, between your eyes. Now drink the whole glass. It's something about the angle that you're swallowing from that makes the hiccups stop, I think. Works better than drinking water upside down, and you won't spill.
The only way I can get rid of hiccups is to fill a glass with water, put my mouth on the opposite side of the glass, and bend over the tub, so as not to spill it on the floor, and take 10 good swallows ( I do 11 for good measure) Works for me every time. Good Luck.
TBS baking soda
some water
mix and drink
One way to get them away is to get a suprise!
Have an orgasm and your hiccups will magically disappear. Of course, there may be other, unintended side effects!

Kids, do not try this at home!
Wear protection!
I have tried this every single time I have had hiccups, and every time it has worked. All my friends and family have tried it and it worked. I learnt it from my grandfather when I was young and ive never forgot about it, I was actually going to sell the method to the doctors! (but thought, its only hiccups not the common cold) Anyway...

- Get a glass of water
- Get a mouthfull of water
- Tilt your head back
- Hold your nose
- Swallow
-Mouthfull of water, tilt head back, hold nose, swallow.

You then repeat this process 5 times or more, BUT you have to do it real quick without stopping otherwise you may hiccup during this and have to start the process over and over again.

I can guarantee this works, if ive explained it right!
