a cure for the hiccups???

Right now I have them, and they are killing me. Why oh why did I have them get them??? Each hiccup is causing untold amounts of pain on my week old stitches....WHYYYYYYY.

Sorry, I had to complain.

I know of two cures

First one is hold your breath...which never works for me

Second one always works for me. Block your ears and have a drink (easier done with a straw)

Also they say if you get a shock or surprise they will go.


Hope they go soon!

These may sound strange...

Swallow a spoon full of sugar.

or...

Drink water upside down. Place yourself in the bathtube and bend over - then drink.. well backwards. That one always seemed to help me.

Hehe. GOOD LUCK! 'Cause hiccups stink.

Put some water (or any drink I guess) in your mouth, then bend over so your head is upside down and swallow it. That's the only thing that ever works for me.

I'm sorry i don't know any good cures I hope you get rid of them though, because they can be annoying for you and the people around you.

Are yours like mine? When you get them, they go away - but then they come back a little later...then go away...then come back...then go away...then come back...then on and on for about a day or two? If so, i'm so sorry!!! If not, YOUR LUCKY!!!

best cure is just to breathe slowly and deeply and divert your attention

yeah, I have the type that you think are gone then 10mins later they are back again.
And it really sucks, I can't do any of the bending over thing...I just had a breast reduction surgery this past monday (the 17th) and I can't bend over. Each and every hiccup just sent shooting pains all over. Oh well, they are gone now. I guess it happened when my 17lb monster cat tried to crawl up on my chest.
by the way...it hurts to screaml too. lol

Awwww, thats sweet. Theres also one like that that says when your shoelaces come untied your true love is thinking of you. I like that one. Im a sap, what can I say?
