Hiccups are common around the world, we do not know specifically why or how it happens but it is very irritating sometimes, there is once where i have a hiccup before a performance, luckily it died away when i am going on stage. How do you solve your hiccups? I usually solve mine by holding plenty of water in my mouth, wait for the hiccup to come and swallow it when it happens, it kind of make me "swallow" my hiccups down, its feels like a lump of solid air and after that my hiccups are gone. Whats your cure?

(1) Pour a TALL glass of water. (2) Hold your breath... *** (3) IMPORTANT...PINCH YOUR NOSE CLOSED. (4) Slowly, take 15 - 20 swallows of the water...while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed. (5) When you can't stand it any more....you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation -- after you gasp, take a deep breath and relax. This cures the hiccups 99 percent of the time - guaranteed! It's a proven medical remedy.

Thx, however i think you meant 15 secs to 25 secs? Or do you mean you change your breathing speed for the time period?

Hi there Antzon! I use water too but what I do is get a glass of water, hold my breath and drink it all up.

1. Drink lots of water. 2. Swallow when the hiccup occurs. 3. Try to hold your breathe and you somewhat can "control" the hiccups. Well I can't remember, but there are websites who explain how hiccup comes around and such.
