<p>How can I get rid of my hiccups? Any remedies, proven or not? I just gotta stop!</p>
<p>drink lots of water.....chew gum.....eat food.....ice cream....hold your breath...im sure you've tried most of these...just some remedies that always work for me.</p>
<p>Taking 10 or so quick breaths without exhaling (hyperventilation, basically) should do the trick. :)</p>
<p>THE remedy:</p>
<p>take a big sip of water, turn your head upside down, and THEN swallow. this works for me every single time.</p>
<p>Suck in like you would for a burp buildup and then just let a massive burp rip. Problem solved.</p>
<p>Take a large glass of water, bend over at the waist with your head near your knees and drink out of the far side of the glass. The bottom of the glass will be tipped toward you. Drink all of the water, all at once. Don't breathe while you're drinking.<br>
I have been doing this for 30+ years and it works. I learned it from the pharmacist I worked for in college.</p>
<p>thats like the same as mine... i made mine up as a variation on that one because i always ended up pouring water on my face :)</p>
<p>yea the water thing works. But, seriously, the old scaring you thing will work. My brother is an expert in stealth and will hide under the most unusual places to scare me to get my hiccups go away. But he is really good at scaring people</p>
<p>The water trick did work! thanks! I feel all better</p>
<p>Drinking a glass of water through a paper towel works for me.</p>
<p>Ignore the hiccups. That works best for me.</p>
