Hiccups Treatment
Self-Care at Home
Numerous home remedies for hiccups exist. The reason that these remedies are thought to work is that carbon dioxide build-up in the blood will stop hiccups, which is what happens when you hold your breath. If the vagus nerve that runs from the brain to the stomach is stimulated, hiccups can also be alleviated (this is what is happening when you drink water or pull on your tongue).
Try these methods at home:
Hold your breath.
Drink a glass of water quickly.
Become frightened.
Use smelling salts.
Pull hard on your tongue.
Place one-half teaspoon of dry sugar on the back of your tongue. (You can repeat this process 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Use corn syrup, not sugar, in young children.)

Swallow a heaping teaspoon of granulated sugar, without anything to wash it down. The tickling in your throat will stop the hiccups.

You need to stretch out your diaphragm. Hold one of your arms up in the air while sipping a glass of water. It sounds silly but it works every time, guaranteed or your money back. Drinking causes you to hold your breath. That combined with your arm raised...it will stretch your diaphragm right out and the spasm will stop.

I inhale the biggest breath I can and hold it. Then, after about a minute, I inhale just a bit more, hold it in for 20 seconds and slowly exhale. Works every time.
