I am going insane

hold your breath & count to ten, repeat if if doesn't work the first time. good luck!

I heard that this works every time... get a glass of water and a clean wash cloth.. put the wash cloth over the opening of the glass and sip the water through it.. I heard that it works.. but what has always worked for me and everyone that I've ever tried this on.. is to control breathing (since hicups is nothing more than a spasm in your diaphragm) Take a deep breath (as deep as you can get it) and let it out one small breath at a time... repeat this a few times and it makes the spasms quit :)

a spoon full of sugar (to help the medicine go down....) sorry, broke into song some pickle juice

are u still online. hope i didn't make u mad w/the pm i sent you. was trying to shock the hiccups out of you. please let me know if it helped??

Take a deep breath, and immediately stick a finger in each ear. Hold your breath for as long as you can, but not so long as you pass out! It works every time for me.

Have you tried holding a pencil in your mouth sideways and then drink as much water from a glass that you can at one time?

try drinking soda (the carbination will help) or try a spoonfull of sugar). my daughter just had them for a couple of house a couple of weeks ago but my hubby had them for three days. he went to the emergency room and they gave him a muscle relaxant.

Actually we've always done either taking a deep breath and holding for as long as you can or a spoon of regular table sugar. Either one has always worked for us. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

A spoonful of peanut butter works every time!

I just got up and if you still have these it's been 12 hours. I hope you are over the hiccups by now. Next time you get these try breathing into and out of a paper bag. You get some carbon dioxide that way and it often stops the hiccups.

I think by now your hiccups must be stopped. It is almost 6 hours since you have started this discussion. Don't you think that people should have a luxory of closing a discussion once its purpose is found? I think yes, becaue I have started an April Fool message and it is still getting responses!

this has always worked for me and everyone i know get something to drink and chug it , that is what causes the hiccups and thats what will take them away

Are you still having hiccups? What I normally do when I have one is, I'll drink three glasses full of water consecutively. It always works!

I have heard that watching a horror movie should scare the hiccups out of you.. if that doesnt work do what spike the dog did in tom and jerry cartoon.. watch that episode.. you laugh your brains out so that should cure your hiccups..

Well, having the hiccups for any length of time can be annoying. It can be something that can really tend to stress you out as well as when nothing is working and especially if you are needing to get something done can be annoying as well. When I get the hiccups most of the time I resort to trying to hold my breathe for about 30 seconds if I can, and drinking water. I have heard that drinking warm water usually works the best.

My hubby works in the ER, when it gets to a certain point ( I forget how many hours) I think he said they use thorazine. Have you tried weird things like jumping in a cold shower or putting sugar on the back of your tongue then swallowing it a few times. Or and this is not fun...pull on your tongue hard. Hiccups is not a medical emergency..I assume no other problems.

My mom told me this. Take a deep breath, and slowly exhale. Do it 2-3 times; it works for me each time..

I promise you this will work. Take a be heaping tablespoon of sugar in your mouth and let it SLOWLY dissolve in your mouth. The trick is for it to be BIG HEAPING SPOONFULL and to let it SLOWLY DISSOLVE ALL ON ITS OWN. I promise this really does work, it has been proven too on WebMD

try holding your breath and taking twelve sips of water, or one thing someone did to me was balance a chapstick on my nose, and having me look at it. it actually worked!

sometimes my dad too gets similar type of hiccups. Then i prepare a mixture of jaggery and dry ginger and a little ghee. Make it into small balls of a size of gooseberry and give him one by him with an interval of 10 mts. Then the hiccups stops.
