Your cure for hiccups?

[Jessica]

mine is a spoonful of vinegar. adults always go "yuck!" and kids try it and then go "oh it works!"
but good balsamic vinegar tastes nice anyway and it always gets rid of hiccups for me.

Drinking water and try to get myself to burp. When i start burping especially big burps, thats when it starts going away. Probably because i don't get it that bad.

Reminds me of when I had to get my shots for China ! I said to the nurse "I hate injections " so she just said " keep licking your lips" which is fucking hard to do when your shitting yourself , Nurse goes "OK all done " so I said "wow how does that work?"
She said "keeps your mind off it "

I find this statement is true in many circumstances.

it's the cure we deserve, not the cure we need.

There is potential scientific evidence to explain why vinegar works.
As y'all good people know, vinegar is acidic (with a pH averaging 2.5).
When strong acid goes down your esophagus, it tricks the response mechanism that makes your brain think that you are vomiting. (Usually the acid goes up your esophagus from your stomach when you puke but I don't think that it matters what direction is going.)
Hiccups then stop as the body's mechanism to avoid chocking.

That is my theory anyway.
Plus I have seen it work 100 times with no failure.

Personally I do nothing about hick-up as I enjoy them and find them fun!

[Jessica]

you find hiccups fun.
i did not know that about you

[Rebeltramp]

I do.
Maybe because I don't get them very often and they are usually mild.
They do something to me that tickles me and I chuckle.. :-)

I have to have a weekly injection in my arm, which my wife does for me, and I've found that if I take a deep breath in as she's about to stick the needle in, it doesn't make me jump in the same way. Same idea I guess.

A sudden burst of adrenaline shuts them off like a switch. Next time someone had bad, endless hiccoughs that go on for a half hour, slap them. Across the face. It will piss them off to the core instantly. But the other problem will be gone.

I suggest wearing the right shoes first.

[Undies]

i don't really know, i don't seem to get them that often and when they do they usually go away on their own pretty quickly. so i guess my cure is just being me.

That works for me sometime. I take the deepest breath I can, hold it for as long as I can, then slowly exhale. It helps if I'm laying down.
