Hiccups are caused by the spasim of the diaphram and the best way to rid them is to not think about them. That is why frightening someone will often work,,, because they are distracted.

I don't know what causes them but I do know that when you hiccup your heart stops. Try drinking a glass of water or holding your breathe. That usually helps.

When you have gas in your stomach, you hiccup. The best way I get rid of them is hold my breath, it usually works.

Drink water while upside-down.
Bend over as far as you can and drink a glass of water.
