My name : Soeb khumri Age 49 staying in Singapore [ migrated recently from India ]
my hiccups not stopping since five days. Nature of my hicups is as under :
I get long hiccups which is Silent [ not making noise ] i feel my throught is blocked and my tummy jumping 5 to 6 times [ one hiccup ] some time it is prolonged and i feel suffocated [ can not breath ] seen some doctors they don't have any remedy for this problem along with hiccups feel burning sensation in chest & feels like everything coming up.
Second nature is when i go to sleep it takes time to settle down . once i am nearing to sleep hiccups stops [ only in sleeping position ] In the morning when i get up after a while it starts again.
I tried many things written on internet but not getting results. But i tried my own thing to wamit it out. Hiccups stops for a longer time but I get again.
I got this after 4 years but this time it is worse. Last time it was subsided in three days becoz of some leaves

well for me, since obviously its a spasm of the diaphram muscle just under your rib cage.. I massage mine and put a heating pad on it to calm the muscles down.. sometimes rubbing it with warm oil or vics vapor rub helps... I try to force myself to relax. focus on a spot across the room and try to control my breathing, and measure it out... deep breath, hold, release, relax. etc..
goodluck! and hope you get better soon

GO AND SEE A DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY....if your hiccups have not stopped in 6 days and you have a serious medical problem.....if its been on and off then try taking a sip of water...and drink it upside down by taking a sip and leaving the water in your mount then bend down like you are touching your toes then force yourself to swallow the water.....I find it helps....

Well first off, I'm sorry to hear this! Keep a record though, you might beat the World record if it doesn't stop.
And to answer...this may sound crazy, but swallowing a big spoonful of sugar always gets rid of it for me! No joke.

Have you tried eating a spoonful of sugar? Also, if you stand on your head and swallow a drink of water this helps. Other than that, I don't know.

Go see your doctor. Baclofen is usually helps relax the diaphragm and stop your hi-coughs
