What in the fuck causes hiccups and how do you stop them? - GoFuckYourself.com

What in the holy hell is going on here!?!? I have had the hiccups for the past 45 minutes and I can't fucking get them to stop. I've held my breath, stood on my head, drank water and done just about every other thing I can possibly think of to stop them.

This is really pissing me off. What in the fuck causes them and how can I get rid of them?

The medical cause of hiccups can include abdominal distention, brainstem lesions, cancer the stomach, dilatation of the stomach, gastritis, increased intracranial pressure, pancreatitis, irritation of the lining of the lungs, and kidney failure.

Many conditions are associated with hiccups, but none has been shown to be the cause of hiccups.

If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
In these instances, your stomach, which sits on top of the diaphragm, is distended or stretched. Because they occur in relation to eating and drinking, hiccups are sometimes thought to be a reflex to protect you from choking.

i can make myself get instant hiccups by eating pickled jalepenos ( or basiclly anything with lots of jalapeno juice )

The only sure i know that works is keep drinking water.. you dont have to drink it fast just dont breathe.

It's amazing that in the time to type this post you could've googled it and got 200 pages of results telling you how to deal with hiccups.

... or you can post here and let everyone else do the work for you

Jace · 12-22-2005, 11:07 PM

trapped air causes them

i use a spoonful of sugar, it cures them instantly usually

Spunky · 12-22-2005, 11:09 PM

With my hiccups I kept typing Goooogle and it was taking me to some porn site.

It's all about delegation.

Red Ezra · 12-22-2005, 11:10 PM

i have heard all kinds of cures - you know what works? swallow your breath - I know it sounds crazy but it works - swallow the air in your mouth - it'll go off like a switch - your welcome.

There is a high incidence of hiccups amongst those with "green" status on GFY. Don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger.

My wife asked me to scare her once, to get rid of her hiccups.

A soon as she asked it... I knew it wasnt going to work unless i scared her before she finshed asking. I turned around and scared the shit out of her, becuase she wasnt expecting it that soon.

If i remember correctly it worked as well.

The remedy we used to use in the bar/club biz was a teaspoon of bitters - tastes like shit but it works every time

From the Guinness Book of World Records . . .

Longest Attack of Hiccups

Charles Osborne (1894?1991) of Anthon, Iowa, USA, started hiccupping in 1922 while attempting to weigh a hog before slaughtering it. He was unable to find a cure, and continued hiccupping until February 1990, a total of 68 years!

Osborne led a normal life in which he had two wives and fathered eight children. The only discomfort from his hiccuping, he claimed, was the constant risk of losing his false teeth!

During the first few decades, he hiccupped up to 40 times a minute, slowing to 20 a minute in later years. He finally stopped in 1990 ? after an estimated 430 million spasms ? and died the following year.

Holy shit!

Ace-wtf · 12-23-2005, 06:07 AM
