Whats the best way to get rid of the hiccups?

Answer 1

Jeeze, you really want me to drop this towel don'tcha? Ha ha!...

Answer 2

hold your breath for 10 seconds but pinch your nose with one hand and hold your other hand over your mouth (to make sure no air escapes)

and when the 10 seconds is up, take a breath in before exhaling the air you've been holding

i get the hiccups several times a week and this almost always does the trick!

Answer 3

(1) Pour a TALL glass of water.

(2) Hold your breath... ***

(3) IMPORTANT...PINCH YOUR NOSE CLOSED.

(4) Slowly, take 10 - 20 swallows of the water...while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed.

(5) When you can't stand it any more....you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation -- after a gasp, take a deep breath and relax.

This cures the hiccups 99 percent of the time - guaranteed! It's a proven medical remedy! (A second treatment could be necessary for stubborn cases.)

*** For stubborn cases, try EXHALING COMPLETELY and then taking 10 - 20 swallows.

NOW: HERE'S WHY IT WORKS: Hiccups are caused by an uncontrollable spasm in the diaphragm, (the "breathing" muscle). Often, this spasm is triggered by irritable conditions in the smooth muscles of the stomach or the esophagus. The "Hughes/Green Hiccups Cure" forces an increase in the carbon dioxide levels in the diaphragm itself, as well as in the stomach and esophagus. By swallowing, you are making the muscles work -- so they use up their available oxygen and replace it with carbon dioxide. By temporarily discontinuing to breath, you prohibit new oxygen from entering your body and thus create an anaerobic condition in the spasming diaphragm muscle. When the spasming diaphragm and stomach are deprived temporarily of oxygen and encounter the higher levels of carbon dioxide ... you feel that scary drowning sensation! BUT this causes the spasming muscles to relax! The hiccups go away! Essentially, you are "tricking" your body into thinking that it's drowning ... and it decides to use it's resources for something other than hiccuping. The rather "scary" drowning sensation caused by this method is NECESSARY for the method to work. If it's not just a little bit difficult ... it doesn't work.

NOTE: This hiccups cure WORKS for virtually all cases. The method works especially well on children. It works for geriatric case, cancer victims, tobacco chewer's, and for people who get the hiccups frequently. This method instantly STOPS the hiccups. Sometimes, hiccups may return within an hour or so. Usually they do not: but if they do - just use the method again! You will not develop an immunity to this cure. Continue to use the method as often as needed, until the diaphragm relaxes permanently. In reality, you may not need 15 swallows of water, you just need to induce the drowning sensation which evokes a gasp. This method often works for children in about 6 or 7 swallows. Moreover, children NEVER thank you after their hiccups are cured. They seem to expect that you know how to fix such things. WHO-ever it is that you are trying to help should be encouraged to try this method. This method is not a "trick". It is not a psychosomatic effect. It works because of the change of the balance carbon dioxide levels in the diaphragm.

WARNINGS & MEDICATIONS: Protracted or intermittent severe discomfort in the stomach area can be indicative of a very, very serious medical condition! Severe stomach discomfort can result from heart conditions, gall stones, appendicitis, pancreatitis, or other very serious medical conditions. If you suffer from very severe stomach pain - you may need to see a doctor. Gall bladder conditions, heart conditions, or appendicitis feel like severe stomach discomfort. Unlike the nerves in your skin - the nerves in your internal organs do not signal feelings of pain in a "specific" location. Internal organ pain is "general" - and it is difficult to know where it really coming from. After the emergency room, the correct physician to consult for a chronic hiccups problem is a neurologist. One of most effective treatments for persistent hiccups is a prescription drug called Baclofen. That is used to treat people who have nerve diseases that cause muscle spasms. Be sure to tell your neurologist about Baclofen. Other chronic cases have responded to anti-parkinson's medications like Artane, or Amantadine. These drugs must be used for a period of weeks. If one drug does not work, another often does. People who have been hiccuping constantly for 20 years are glad to finally find the medication that relieves hiccups permanently. Once the hiccups stop, those drug can be discontinued. Metoclopramide or Thorazine, which have commonly been used by physicians in the past do not work as well as the Hughes/Green Method for relieving hiccups. Before you go to the emergency room, please try the method!
