what are some things to help them go away?
:)
Answers:
I Think it is from not getting enough air in your lungs or something. I am not truly sure, when I got the hiccups my parents always said I am growing, but I know that is not true.
Ways to get rid of hiccups:
1. Hold your breathe, and take 3 extremely big sips of water, while still holding your breathe
2. Hold you nose, and plug your ears, and then drink 3 big sips of water
3. Have someone surprisingly scare you
4. Drink a glass of water upside down
Air pockets in your diaphram
the diaphram is having muscle spasms.
try holding your breath to break the spasm cycle or drink water. they will basically stop when they are ready.
air in ur tummy.
try burping.
hiccups come from the hypothalamus. when we laugh a lot and so hard it can over stimulate the hypothalamus and create hiccups.
There are tons of different myths to help them go away but nothing really works. Time is the only cure.
blocked air like when you stuff something in the faucet tube the water cannot come.when you ate too much food and not enough water to push the food down to your digestive that's when you have hiccups drink water to flush down the food.
sometimes when u drink something it goes down the wrong way and u get the hiccups or sometimes it just comes naurally just like sneezing
the diaphram is either having muscle spasams or is out of synic with your breathing and hicups are the body's way to syncranize again.
i get hicups a lot. what i've found to work 99% of the time is peanut butter. if it's handy (and you're not allergic) it is definatly the fist thing i go for to stop my hicups. standing on your head and holding your breath also works.

hope that answers your question :]
They occur when there are spasms of the diaphragm, followed by quick noisy closings of the glottis. Hiccups are more likely to occur when carbon dioxide levels in the blood decrease. Such a decrease can occur when people over breathe. Holding your breath is the simplest was to stop hiccups. Breathing into a paper bag, swallowing dry bread or crushed ice, and drinking water quickly can also help.
