anyone have a cure for the hiccups? why do we get hiccups?

Answer 1

Drinking a glass of water. Upside Down.


Bend over as far as you can to drink to water.

Answer 2

I have always given anyone with hiccups a tablespoon of honey or for a kid, a teaspoon. This has always worked. Hiccups is just a tic kind of like a facial or arm tic. The digestive tract irritates the nerve and we start hiccuping. I always thought of hiccups as a burp gone berzerk.

Answer 3

BOO!!!!

Did that help your hiccups?

Seriously the one cure that was shown to me by a couple of bartenders was taking a slice of lemon and putting a few drops of Angostura bitters on it. Once you did that suck or eat the lemon. It works for me and everybody I seen try it.

As for what causes hiccups it is a rapid contractions of respiratory diaphragm. This can be caused by a multitude of things. Eatting or drinking to fast, coughing, laughing or just the right movement of your body. I really don't think they know what actually causes them.

Answer 4

It is a muscle spasm that you get. I know the best, quickest solution. Take your forefinger and your middle finger on both hands and apply pressure to the area just about 1 inch above your eyebrows on both sides. Within about 1 minute they should go away. If not your fingers must be moved slightly to the left or right. You are actually pressing on the nerve which makes the spasms in your diaphram area (beleive it or not).

Answer 5

hiccups come from lack of oxygen.
