• Hiccups: It's all in your head.

Any time someone would get the hiccups in biology class a few years ago, the teacher would have everyone stare at the person and wait for them to hiccup again. It stopped their hiccups right away.
If you have hiccups, do a respiratory purge. That's where you breathe in and out rapidly through your mouth, which purges you of almost all CO2 and leaves only pure oxygen. It's actually pretty useful, additionally, for people in the pearl diving business or whom are professional divers. Yeah, it's a bit off topic, but watch this TED talk.

[QUOTE=Madman_Andre;20073658]I hear belching works.[/QUOTE] Yeah, burping definitely works. Whenever I have the hiccups, I force myself to burp, and my hiccups just disappear.
A hiccup isn't in your head, it's in your digestive tract. Silly boy.

[QUOTE=KSI;20072391]Upside-down water drinking.[/QUOTE] May I just say I hate your Avatar KSI. Now when I get hiccups I just hold my breath for ages. [editline]05:16PM[/editline] FUUUUUUUUU- now I have them.

It isn't all in your head. Also, just because something [I]seemed[/I] to work one time does not mean it will work every time. I hardly ever get the hiccups, but when I do they are annoying.

Apparently, wikipedia says getting fucked in the ass cures hiccups: [QUOTE=wikipedia]Digital rectal massage has been recommended as a remedy that causes immediate cessation of hiccups and which should be tried before resorting to drugs.[/quote]
[QUOTE=Penguiin;20074655]Apparently, wikipedia says getting fucked in the ass cures hiccups:[/QUOTE]I already recommended that solution. And you don't need a penis, just a finger. [img]http://tasteslikespam.com/images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
There was this girl whose hiccups would stop if she said peanuts.
I just swallow air and burp it out discreetly. Gross, but it gets rid of hiccups without fail.
Just touch your tongue to the top of your mouth 20 times. It works.
[QUOTE=BackflipHatchetAttack;20072518]I can just stop hiccuping. It's easy.[/QUOTE] Why did you start? :smug:
I get drunk and beat my wife.
I get beat my drunk husband.
[QUOTE=mugofdoom;20075053]I get drunk and beat my wife.[/QUOTE]Shouldn't this be a thread?
[QUOTE=Suttles;20075077]I get beat my drunk husband.[/QUOTE] You get beat your drunk husband? Bitch, this time you ain't getting back up. *hiccup*
That doesn't make sense. As soon as you hiccup once, you're not sitting there thinking "Woah! What was that? Did I just do a weird burp?" No. You think, "Oh great, I have hiccups again". So what you said makes no sense.
I hold my breath for a minute
i have a fear of getting the hiccups and not being able to lose them. First it would just be a nuisance but then everyone around you will be annoyed by it and not talk to you ever again :ohdear:
I remember reading about people having permanent hiccups for many years when I was younger from some old copy of [I]Ripley's Believe it or Not![/I] I regret ever reading that book. Fuck the monsters in the closet and Freddy Krueger sucking you into the mattress and turning your body into a giant fucking fountain of blood, this is what truly terrified me as a kid. I would press the sheets close over my mouth and breathe in deeply, because I thought hiccups were some malevolent force of humiliation driven on making your life a living hell, and the only way to stop them was preventing them from entering your mouth. Sometimes, I would cry myself to sleep like a little bitch as I clung desperately onto the wet, slobbered blankets. :ohdear:
I read that you should take in as deep of a breath as you can and hold it. Then take another deep breath, while not exhaling from before. Repeat this pattern a few times until you can't breathe in anymore and the exhale.
I get a big glass of water and drink until I think I'm about to drown. This always works for me.
Drinking water is holding your your breath, hiccups have nothing to do with your stomach, its you diaphragm and throat. You need to exhale and hold, and this will work 100% of the time if you do it as soon as they start. [editline]01:50AM[/editline] So water does nothing, just hold your breath when it t starts.

[QUOTE=Chris Parks;20074980]Just touch your tongue to the top of your mouth 20 times. It works.[/QUOTE] Thats stupid, touching your tongue to the top front of your mouth works for stop sneezes along with pushing the front of your nose.
As long as you're not thinking about it they go away.
i just hold my breath.
