sit in a quiet place by yourself & close your eyes & picture some kind of action taking place. my cousin told me to think of an elephant using its trunk to pick up grass in a field to eat. i was in macys with him & i went & stood in a corner to do this lol. its worked for me every time no joke. i had another way i used to do before the elephant thing & that was to have a drink of something in your mouth & turn your head upside down (you dont have to do a handstand) to swallow it. do it a few times. good luck!

I have tried many different cures because if I get hiccups once, I get them at least 3 more times the same day, and yes, they hurt.
Drink a glass of water while plugging both ears. I don't know how it works, but you can feel something going on while you do it. Everything is connected. I've never had this trick fail, and neither has my husband. You'll either need someone to help you, or use a straw. Good luck!

This works for me every single time. You need a spoonfull of sugar and a glass of water. First, put the spoonfull of sugar in your mouth. Wait until it is halfway disolved. Then, drink the water to wash down the rest of the sugar. This will ALWAYS work.

hiccups themselves are pockets of air caught in the stomach.some say breathing into a paper bag,drinking a glass of sugar water or even drinking from the opposite side of the glass you normally would.if it persists you may want to check into to see if your suffering from GERD.

Shoplifting - it's the best cure! Because it forces your mind to concentrate on what you're doing so you won't get caught and you also get free stuff! It's win, win! And if you do get caught, just tell the cops that you had hiccups, they always understand.
