Question

It hurts and I dont know what to do! Help!?

Answer 1

I've never had this not work!


Take you pointer fingers and put them on your temples. Press with medium pressure and make four circles.
That's it!
You should be cured!

I did it for someone and a lady who runs a local day care was watching. She came back later and told me she used it too and it worked for her when a little boy said he had hiccups! Good luck!

This action interrupts stimulation to the vegas nerve which tells the body to hiccup.

You should see a doctor

Some Methods to Stop Hiccups

1)Have a teaspoonful of sugar, and if you can, place the sugar on the back of the tongue, where "sour" is tasted.

2)Some doctors recommend that you put your fingers in your ears to stop hiccups. The branches of the vagus nerve also reach into the auditory system, and by stimulating the nerve endings there, the vagus nerve goes into action. But be gentle, and don't stick your fingers too far into your ears.

3) Get scared silly. Having someone surprise you can overwhelm the vagus nerve and put an end to hiccups.

4) Drink water. Swallowing water interrupts the hiccupping cycle, which can quiet the nerves. Gargling with water may also have the same effect.

5) Pull on your tongue. Sticking out your tongue and yanking on it may stop hiccups.

6) Tickle it away. Tickling the soft palate of the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab may do the trick. Or, if you're the type who enjoys getting tickled, have someone find your ticklish spots.

7) Hold your breath. Hold your nose and close your mouth--the way you would when you're ready to jump into a pool--for as long as you can or until you sense that the hiccups are gone.

8) Bag those hiccups. The old standby, breathing into a paper bag, is believed to work on the same principle as the breath-holding method. Both increase the amount of carbon dioxide in the bloodstream, and the body becomes preoccupied with getting rid of it and forgets about the hiccups.

9) Take an antacid. This method may be more effective if you choose one that contains magnesium, since the mineral tends to decrease irritation and quiet the nerves. One or two tablets should take care of hiccups.

10) Eat slower. If you eat fast, you are probably not chewing food thoroughly, which seems to cause hiccups. And rapid-fire feeding causes air to get trapped between pieces of food, which may set off the vagus nerve. Chew deliberately and take smaller sips of drinks to keep your air intake to a minimum.

11) Don't pig out. Overloading the stomach with food is another cause of hiccups. Some experts theorize that hiccups are your body's way of telling you to quit eating so your digestive system has time to process all the food you've forced down your gullet.

12) Avoid spicy foods. Some spices can irritate the lining of the esophagus and stomach. At the same time, they can also cause acid from the stomach to leak into the esophagus. The extra acid can bring on hiccups.

13) Drink only in moderation.

I'm sure that they are gone by now, but I will absolutely guarantee one suck on a lemon slice will end your hiccup episode.

Get a glass of water and instead of drinking it like you usually do...take your bottom lip and place it on the other side of the cup. Lean forward and drink the water that way...i bet you it works...Good luck
