neylitalo Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I had the hiccups on-and-off the other night, for about 8 hours - here's a cure that always, ALWAYS works for me. Sit down, relax, put everything aside, take the headphones off - and concentrate. This is essential. (It sounds really weird, but so are most hiccup cures - and I'm serious. It works.) Keep telling yourself "Watch for it. Is the hiccup here? Is it coming up? Is it now? Is that a hiccup I feel?" Watch for the hiccup. Wait for it. Wait to start feeling the hiccup. Just keep watching for it. You have to concentrate on it. The talking to yourself is essential - you want to keep your brain occupied with watching for the hiccup. If you hiccup, start over. Just keep watching for it. It usually takes about a minute of doing this hiccup-free before I'm convinced that the hiccups are gone. While you're doing this, you should notice that you're taking quick, small, relaxed, breaths - that's the key. If you're taking big breaths, it might work, but probably not. Oh, and the sentences in the description of the cure are short and terse for a reason - I find it helps me to think quick, short sentences to help with the small breaths. Call me a nut, but it works.

.josh Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I would have posted a picture of Ron for you. Surely that would have scared the hiccups away. Just fyi: when I first saw the title of this thread, I thought you were making a drunk inspired post.

Something in that post is lacking for me... If you have a solution that always, ALWAYS works for you, then how the heck to you have hiccups for 8 hours? LOL...

wildteen88 Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 I just hold my breath for at least 30 - 60 seconds and the hic-ups usually go away. Rarely it takes a few tries.

dustinnoe Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 What really sucks is when you are trying to eat and you get hiccups. That's the only time I get them and it really ticks me off.

roopurt18 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I just try and control my breathing. Long, deep breaths, holding it for a few seconds after each inhale. I don't think I've ever had the hiccups for more than maybe 5 minutes. (EDIT) I thought the same about the drunk inspired post.
