Holding breath for 10 seconds, then swigging a cup of water followed by another 10 seconds of holding your breath has never failed me yet!

I've got to say I'm rather more curious about why anyone thought to try that as a cure for hiccups in the first place. Was someone hiccuping and then randomly got probed there which caused them to stop? Was it just a case of sticking fingers into every orifice while someone was hiccuping and hoping that one would have an effect? Is there another reason? And is it really safe to ask?

Shooting myself in the foot always stops my hiccups.

I can cure my hiccups with a few moments concentration. As superpowers go I don't think i'll be saving the world anytime soon.

PK!

Yay - so I'm not the only one who can do this...! It really annoys my family that if I hiccup once then I just 'think' them gone (by relaxing my diaphragm) before the next one arrives

Eating a tea spoon of sugar always works for me!

Hiccups at the office, "oi john, shove your finger up my arse i've got hiccups"

I just hold my breath til I no longer can, works every time, gets me a bit dizzy though.

Hold your breath, pinch your nose and swallow as many times as you can works for me.

I like hiccups and get the giggles when people i know have them sat next to me and are trying to surpress them in a quiet, but full room.

VonClinkerhofen · 22 Aug 2008 at 11:22

teaspoon of vinegar works every time.

aslco · 22 Aug 2008 at 11:23
