I don’t have anything great to say about this matter, but I have the hiccups… Holy fuck the hiccups!
You can’t really do it to yourself, but I’ve had really good luck ending other people’s hiccups by offering them $5 if they hiccup again
Holding my breath works for me, or maybe it just passes the time. Usually goes away in about 2 full breaths.
Doing a whip it cures hiccups
Yeah. Oxygen deprivation releases the reflex, but you have to hold your breath, so long that it hurts.
There have actually been studies why that is.
Why is that?
Hiccups are actually caused by a microorganism called “hickey” getting into your lungs. When you hold your breath, you flood the organism with carbon dioxide, which kills enough of it that your immune system can handle the rest easily.

Thanks I will teach this to my kids too
BOO!
Still got the hiccups?
Ahh!
Yes but I have a fear boner too.
My dog having the hiccups is the cutest thing ever. But everything he does is cute. Burping is cute too.
Drinking from the far side of a glass has never not stopped my hiccups
I don’t understand what that means. How do you drink from the far side of a glass?
You lean over top of the glass, and use your lower lip to control the flow, and swallow in this position
Drinking from the far side of the glass has always stopped my hiccups.
Ever get hiccups together with acid reflux? That’s an extra special level of hell.
Gargling and/or drinking upside down have always worked for me. Hiccups suck
My partner and I discovered that whip its are a 100% sure cure
So, I’m glad I’m not the only one…
I despise the hiccups, and do nothing else until I can get rid of them.
Holding my breath and drinking while continuing to hold my breath works pretty well for me if I can’t straight up will them away!
My family thinks it’s funny how much I hate them.
Try a spoonful of sugar
I’ve never understood why people tolerate the hiccups. You just keep holding your breath. If you hiccup while holding your breath you take another breath and start again until it’s gone. I’ve never had the hiccups for more than a minute.
Never worked for me, which explains your confusion.
My wife gets bad hiccups sometimes. I meanwhile can just control my diaphragm and stop hiccuping on command. She doesn’t seem to find that very fair.
Spoonful of vinegar does the trick
Breathe shallow but slow, relax. Hickup is a cramp in the diaphragm, mostly caused through stress.
I can confirm this works. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve stopped hiccups doing this. Best if it’s done right away when the episode starts.
Hiccups suck so bad, people will try all manner of crazy witchcraft to get rid of them.
Hold your breath count to 10 in your head if you hiccup start again until you get to 10
Hiccups are involuntary muscle spasms. Applying heat can help stop muscle spasms no matter where they’re occuring. Drinking large gulps of very warm water (as warm as possible) has stopped hiccups for me 100% of the time.
Oh wow!
