Answer 1

A 30 second cure for hiccups


Step 1: Start by inhaling through your mouth until your lungs feel full (when it feels like you cannot inhale any more). For overall best results, try to do this as quickly as you can. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 2: Swallow. You are not really swallowing anything but it seems that without this act, it doesn’t work. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 3: Now inhale some more. You don’t need to inhale a lot, but do get some more air in. It will start to get difficult to do this as you go, but keep trying. You obviously can’t suck in as much air as you did initially, but just a little will do (think of it as taking a “sip” of air). DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 4: Swallow again. This too will start to get difficult as you go. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you cannot swallow again. While it seems you can almost always suck in just a little more air, it is the swallowing that gets to be impossible. When you feel like you cannot swallow again, swallow again anyway. It will be hard to do, your face will probably turn red, and you may make squeaking sounds. But you CAN swallow one last time. By this time, your lungs should also be quite full and it should be difficult to get much more air in as well. While you should try not to let any air out, if you have really repeated steps 3 and 4 as many times as you can, you probably will end up letting a little out before you can take that last swallow. If you find that air keeps escaping out of your nose even early in the process, try squeezing it shut with your fingers.

Step 6: Exhale.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If done correctly, the whole process should take around 30 seconds, and your hiccups will be gone. I swear this works for me, and it has worked for 99% of the people I have told it to. I believe that for those that it doesn’t work for, they are not repeating steps 3 and 4 as many times as they can. Like I said, when you think you cannot possibly swallow again, do it anyway. It also seems that not letting any air out during the process is important. If you hiccup while trying to do this, try not to exhale after the hiccup (the hiccup will force more air IN, working with you). If you do let air out, it’s best to start over from step 1. It has also been reported by one visitor of this site that it seemed to work better standing (particularly as opposed to laying down), but I have done it successfully both standing and sitting down. Your experience may vary.
I have been doing this many years, and it always works for me. This is similar to another cure I have heard, which is to hold your breath. That alone has never worked for me. Somehow I got the idea to add swallowing to it, and the result was success. An interesting side-effect is that (for me at least) for around 15 or 20 seconds after doing this, you feel like you want to hiccup, but it never happens. I’m not sure if this is because you expect to hiccup again or what, but the nice thing is the hiccups do not return.

If you have tried this and it doesn’t work, I suggest repeating steps 3 and 4 at least one more time than you were able to originally. And of course, while it does seem to work for almost everyone I have told, it is possible that it won’t work for everybody. Although I personally feel that the problem is not the method, but rather the execution of it; of course I’m a bit biased. :)

HICCUPS - Treatment

Most cases of hiccups will disappear on their own. Home remedies which interrupt or override the spasmodic nerve circuitry are often effective. Such remedies include:

- holding one's breath for as long as possible
- breathing into a paper bag
- swallowing a spoonful of sugar
- bending forward from the waist and drinking water from the wrong side of a glass

Treating any underlying disorder will usually cure the associated hiccups. Chlorpromazine (Thorazine) relieves intractable hiccups in 80% of cases. Metoclopramide (Reglan), carbamazepam, valproic acid (Depakene), and phenobarbital are also used. As a last resort, surgery to block the phrenic nerve may be performed, although it may lead to significant impairment of respiration.-

Step 6: Exhale.

Answer 4

I absolutely swear that this works 100% of the time. Take about 1/2 of a regular teaspoon of sugar and place on or under the tongue. Your hiccups will be gone in about 15 seconds.
I promise.

Answer 5

to cure hiccups put water in your mouth but do not drink it and hold your breath for 10 to 20 seconds that always works for me

Answer 6

take a deep breath in...hold it
swallow three times (don't drink anything, just dry swallow)
exhale slowly through the mouth, and then in through the mouth.

if you hiccup at any point in the process you have to start again

Answer 7

A spoonful of sugar. Honest. It has something to do with the way the muscles in your esophagus slow down when you swallow it. Good luck because hiccups suck!

Answer 8

Do jumping jacks. Hiccups are caused by lack of oxygen. When you exercise it will cause you to breath deeper and take in more oxygen.

Answer 9

Keep swallowing your saliva until it's gone. Usually 2 or 3 times will do.

Answer 10

they don't..... to make certain that someone to get 'cured' of homosexuality, they ought to wish to modify. they even ought to wish for God's help and actively attempt to modify... The church can't somewhat do something (except say that that is incorrect, which could reason human beings to wish to modify, even though it would not remove the gay emotions someone has) to make someone provide up being gay. there's a gay couple in my church (i do not understand who they are). they have been going for years and have not been 'cured' of it yet. The preacher preaches that homosexuality is a sin, yet would not hate them (or absolutely everyone else) for being gay. My church hasn't 'cured' them, and they are nonetheless living in that sin, because they don't desire to modify (or perchance they have tried to modify, even though it became too frustrating and they gave up).
