How do you stop hiccupping?

Just like the previous responds, hold your breath for as long as you could. The best way for me is to hold my breath while my husband embrace me. He would hug me really tightly and i would hold my breath for as long as i could. I'm not sure of the scientific explanation behind it, but it works both to my husband and i. So whenever he has hiccups, i'd do the same thing to him too.

Try to hold your breath, And Think about something else, like your friend could ask you questions and you would forget hiccups, or you could eat or drink to help. Eating sugar plain could be a little weirdd but could help. CANDY IS A GOOD FIX!

I can give you lot of suggestions. I like your avatar it is cute. Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It’s important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water canl help moderate your speed. Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible. If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can ’scare’ them away. Sneak up on them and give ‘em a good jolt (Be careful though ). What? They don’t have hiccups? Do it anyway! Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely. Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1= 7, 7 x 2= 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone, Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible. Squawk like a chicken while flapping your arms and bobbing your head as if you were pecking at something. Bugawk! Laugh. Think of something funny, or do something funny - see above. Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter. Stand on your head and drink small gulps of water from a sports bottle. Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling right as you hiccup - this will result in a long and loud “huuuaaagggghhh” that’ll either be funny or embarrassing depending on your environment, but after 2-4 of these the hiccups should be gone. Take a shot of lemon juice. Let a teaspoon of sugar dissolve under your tongue. Think of the ugliest person you’ve ever seen. Now picture them naked, rolling naked down a hill or riding a bike and slathered in A-1 steak sauce. Eat some pickles. Think the alphabet backwards as fast as you can. Close your eyes, relax, still your mind and concentrate on nothingness until they’re gone.

Try taking deep breaths and hod them as long you can. other option you can try is take lots of water or lots of fluids. sometimes hiccups just generated by lack of fluids in body.

I would assume they have stopped by now. Sometimes believe it or not a spoonful of sugar will do it.

Have you ever noticed that you never have the hiccups when you're in bed? I did, and so my very reliable hiccup cure has been to lie down on my back whenever I have them. It works quickly because your diaphragm is forced to breathe properly when you lie down. Sometimes it's kind of awkward to do if I'm at work. (Boss: "Why are you lying on your desk?" Me: "Ummm") But otherwise it's the best hiccup cure I've ever found.

When i have hicupping ,i used to take lot of water slowly.

I usually try holding my breath or drinking some water. Hiccups are the spasms of your daiphragm muscle. Eventually it shoudl relax regardless.

when i have the hiccups, i usually drink alot of water or milk and that stops them! :O)

Believe it or not...place a napkin over the top of a glass of water and then drink the water through the napkin. It actually works!!

Sometimes I take a very deep breath and hold it for as long as I can and the hiccupping stops, but this doesn't always work.
