I have the hiccups...

[frau kaleun]

...please advise.

hold your breath for an hour

[Herr-Berbunch]

Get someone to ask you all the meals, in reverse order, that you've eaten for the last few days (about 4-5 usually does it).

You concentrate on thinking about what you've eaten and somehow they just disappear. My wife does it with the kids in her classes as school (she's a teacher - I'm not a pervert, well...) and they are always amazed it works.

If you're on your own I don't know, sorry.

I don't know if that cures the hiccups, but it might make them, like, the most *hic* awesome hiccups ever, dude. They're like... all *hic* multicolored and resonate with *hic* the harmonies of nature and stuff.

[Platapus]

A hic up is a spasm of the diaphragm. Why do you have a spasm of the diaphragm? Because something in your body is telling/misstelling the diaphragm to spasm. One has to break the cause of the spasm.

Stand up and try to make yourself as tall as possible
While taking deep breaths, try to suck in and then stick out your stomach as far as you can. Do this for about a minute. Yes it will look silly which is why you do it alone.

Why would this work?

1. Standing up tall stretches the intercostal muscles.

2. Breathing deep expands and contracts the diaphragm to a different extent than normal breathing

3. Pumping your stomach in and out exercises the muscles that surround the diaphragm.

All this serves to interrupt the nervous signals that is causing the hic ups.

Think of it as sorta rebooting your diaphragm.

[Howard313]

Ordinary hiccups resolve on their own without medical intervention. However, there are a number of treatments for casual cases of hiccups. Some of the more common home remedies include: Drinking water while upside down, giving the afflicted a fright or shock, sticking a finger in the mouth (not in a way that will induce vomiting), massaging the back of the throat (which will stop the irritation in the epiglottis), taking a teaspoon of vinegar, consuming a teaspoon of honey, drinking water in an unorthodox manner (leaning over and drinking from the far side of a glass), drinking a full glass through a paper towel, holding one's breath and altering one's breathing patterns, eating a huge mouthful of peanut butter, or drinking water (large amounts at a time) until hiccuping stops.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccup#Treatment
Problem fixed, next thread.

+1 post count for me :arrgh!:

I once had the hiccups every waking hour for three days straight. It got pretty painful towards the end. I thought my chest was going to fall apart. The only thing that would work to suppress them for even a few minutes was condiment packages of sugar.

Sweet.

[yubba]

A sure fire way to get rid of them is 1 tea spoon of sugar or one packet. Works for me and anyone I've told.

Longest for me - 8 days - I thought I was going to go mad. My friends were starting to find my halting dialect incredibly amusing. Only thing that works for me is proper deep breathing (breathe in slowly by pushing abdomen out, instead of ribs) for 10 minutes.

Heh... just checked the world record : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Osborne_%28hiccups%29

:o how did he put up with that?

[Herr-Berbunch]

Have they gone yet? :hmmm:

Dear God I couldn't imagine 8 solid days let alone what happened to that Osborne guy! :o

Oh yeah, like three minutes after I posted. :O:

[nikimcbee]

:DWhatever you do, post lots of pictures of your experiment.:know:

[Flaxpants]

...please advise.

Hi Frau,

The best thing for you to do is to post a picture of yourself scantily clad in your best 'spirit of '45' bloomers so that we can give you a proper inspection and consequently an accurate diagnosis.

Always happy to help!

Well... I took the picture, but when I saw it the darn thing scared the hiccups right out of me. :O:

So in other words it worked?

[Castout]

Hold your breath for a while and do that repeatedly while focusing your mind on something else but the hiccup.

It could be triggered by overeating too. Just saying.

Not too long ago I was struck with hiccup episodes, one could last about 2 hour. Quite annoying.

Well all's well that ends well. Happy they have gone!

No, not so much. As a good lady friend of mine once put it, "Men have two heads, and generally think with the smaller of the two."
