How to Get Rid of Hiccups
April 27th, 2006 by admin
1. Hiccu-wha?
Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm often accompanied by the familiar "hic" sound. Occasionally they manifest as louder and more embarrassing "huuuugggghhhh"s. Why do we hiccup? It's a mystery.2. Tips for Getting Rid of Hiccups
- Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It's important that you hold your breath for as many gulps as you can. Placing a napkin over a glass of water can help moderate your speed.
- Plug your nose and ears then swallow 20 times as fast as possible.
- If you notice a friend has a case of hiccups, it is believed that your can 'scare' them away. Sneak up on them and give 'em a good jolt (Be careful though ;)). What? They don't have hiccups? Do it anyway!
- Relax, sit still and breathe in deep, slow, rhythmic breaths expanding and contracting your lungs completely.
- Distract yourself. Sing a song, go over your 7 times tables (7 x 1 = 7, 7 x 2 = 14, etc) until the hiccups are gone,
- Exhale completely and hold your breath for as long as possible.
- Squawk like a chicken while flapping your arms and bobbing your head as if you were pecking at something. Bugawk!
- Laugh. Think of something funny, or do something funny - see above.
- Eat a tablespoon of peanut butter.
- Stand on your head and drink small gulps of water from a sports bottle.
- Exaggerate your hiccups by inhaling right as you hiccup - this will result in a long and loud "huuuaaagggghhh" that'll either be funny or embarrassing depending on your environment, but after 2-4 of these the hiccups should be gone.
- Take a shot of lemon juice.
- Let a teaspoon of sugar dissolve under your tongue.
- Think of the ugliest person you've ever seen. Now picture them naked, rolling naked down a hill or riding a bike and slathered in A-1 steak sauce.
- Eat some pickles.
- Think the alphabet backwards as fast as you can.
- Close your eyes, relax, still your mind and concentrate on nothingness until they're gone.

How are you supposed to plug your ears and your nose at the same time?? I only have 2 hands!!!
Just mix water and sugar then drink it it works it just takes about 10 minutes to kick in
I think that drinking water upside down will work because I do that all the time when I get the hiccups and it always works..
I have had the hiccups for the past hour, so I looked up how to get rid of them. My hiccups went away right after I read this! I’m definitely bookmarking this page!
This is actually freaky and I’m not lying but mine went after reading this also that is actually crazy isn’t it lol.
Stop and think of something that your mother is telling someone else about you. Think of how she moves and how she chooses her words and the other side of your brain takes over the breathing while you think of your mother. I heard this on a Porland Oregon am radio station while I was stuck on the beach on Brothers Island in southeast Alaska in 1984. Every person I have shared this with has had their Hiccups go away. Try it for your self or share this with soneone that has the hiccups.
Went away after reading
2 worked for me.
Hiccups are so annoying
After I read this mine went away too I thought it was funny
I seen somebody else post the same thing lol
