I think google has provided me with the cure for the hiccups. - GoFuckYourself.com

I was having a huge hiccup attack most of the night so I broke down and searched google for a cure. It came up with this:

30-Second Hiccup Cure

Step 1: Start by inhaling through your mouth until your lungs feel full (when it feels like you cannot inhale any more). For overall best results, try to do this as quickly as you can. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 2: Swallow. You are not really swallowing anything but it seems that without this act, it doesn?t work. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 3: Now inhale some more. You don?t need to inhale a lot, but do get some more air in. It will start to get difficult to do this as you go, but keep trying. You obviously can?t suck in as much air as you did initially, but just a little will do (think of it as taking a ?sip? of air). DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 4: Swallow again. This too will start to get difficult as you go. DO NOT LET ANY AIR OUT.

Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you cannot swallow again. While it seems you can almost always suck in just a little more air, it is the swallowing that gets to be impossible. When you feel like you cannot swallow again, swallow again anyway. It will be hard to do, your face will probably turn red, and you may make squeaking sounds. But you CAN swallow one last time. By this time, your lungs should also be quite full and it should be difficult to get much more air in as well. While you should try not to let any air out, if you have really repeated steps 3 and 4 as many times as you can, you probably will end up letting a little out before you can take that last swallow. If you find that air keeps escaping out of your nose even early in the process, try squeezing it shut with your fingers.

Step 6: Exhale.

After a long night of especially horrible and unusual hiccuping I tried this method and have been hiccup free for 20 minutes now.

I honestly find that if you grasp the tip of your tongue between your thumb and index finger and gently pull your tongue out until you feel that area underneath your tongue beginning to stretch - then hold it like that for a slow mental count to 20. (your tongue is pretty slick so have dry fingers if possible or use a latex glove - I have tons so I use them for almost everything)

They will be gone. You are actually stretching the muscle that is having contractions and thus causing the hiccups. Though your tongue will feel a bit weird briefly afterwards.

Brujah · 02-06-2009, 03:40 AM

ASM, does that really work?

What a lot of nonsense

Your tongue is not responsible for your hiccups.

The trick here is that you are concentrating on gripping your tongue and counting to twenty. It's a DIVERSION.

Another trick that works when somebody else has the hiccups, is to ask them what they had for dinner. Then ask them what they had for dinner yesterday, and the day before.

At some point they'll have to think hard about what they had.
Ask one more day and then ask them if they still have hiccups.
I bet you it's gone. It worked every time I tried it on somebody.
Mind you, it only works once per person, then they're on to you

It works because it's a diversion. They have to think and concentrate on something else and their breathing changes.

Honestly you do not even need to count. I added that in there for a period of time to hold it. I will usually just tell someone to start and then stop. I am not normally typing out how to do this.

You can think it is nonsense if you wish, really do not care. Or you can go with it and figure hiccups can be caused by the phrenic nerve leading to the diaphragm and that by pulling your tongue you are effecting that nerve.

I'll give that a shot next time. So far the method I posted has worked 2x flawlessly for me.

_Richard_ · 02-10-2009, 07:56 PM

trick i was taught, that has never failed barring a drunken hiccup session, is thinking about your last meals.. so todays lunch, todays breakfast, yesterdays dinner etc

distracts you from hiccuping
