Hiccups!

the cure for my hiccups is a glass of water. many people in India say that when someone remembers you, you get hiccups.( it is a supersition). the remedy for such a hiccup is to remember the names of the people whom you think can think of you. once you take the name of the peron who was remembering you, your hiccups would stop.

I have someone stare in my eyes for about 30 seconds or a little longer with out blinking.

I usually hold my breath. But I'm told you should overwhelm the vagus nerve with another sensation. The vagus nerve sends a signal to the brain. Have a teaspoon of sugar, place it at the back of the tongue where sour is tasted. Put your fingers in your ears.... but not too far. (the vagus nerve also branches into the auditory system) I've also heard pulling out your tongue and yanking on it. I've also heard eating fast can cause hiccups so eat slower. I'm sure there's many more. Regards

Most of the time I drink water to get rid of the hiccups. I have held my breath a couple of time and it has worked to. So I try either one to see what one works better at times. If one doesn't work I go with the other one to see if it will work for me.

Well I have also heard of the same as you. I always drink water and the hiccups stop. Sometimes if it doesn't go away then you have to take lots of water together and that make it go away. :s Strange? But it worked for me :D

for me my hiccups are gone when i take a deep breath, pinch my nose and jump 3 x. it cures. try it! sometimes just holding my breath works for me. . have a nice day!

How long you can hold your breathe upto? I can only hold it for a minute. I have to hold it for more than 5 times so that my hiccups get cured, agan but it is always good for first two or three hiccups because if it gets stopped right at the begining, it is okay but if it is not, it takes longer than usual!

My hiccup cures are:- drinking glass of water, holding the breath and having teaspoons of sugar.
