How do YOU cure the Hiccups?
 
hey mooks,

i have the bad case of the hiccups. i think i caught it from Rudeys mom.

anyways, how do you cure it? some weirdo name KDLady00 told me to drink water from a cup over a sink with a paper towel covering the cup while I hop on one leg and rub my tummy.

tried it. didn't work.

Suggestions please

Your the biggest goober! That is not what I said and what I did tell you, you was too retarded to figure it out! LOL! :rolleyes:

While this seems to be an inside joke thread, I'll still answer with my very best remedy.

Hyperventilation

It resets your diaphragm!

Eat a little bit of granulated sugar.

Sounds weird, but it works every time. I get horrible hiccups, and I've taken to carrying sugar packets in my purse.

LOL You're supposed to drink water backwards over the sink.

You fill the glass with water and you lean over the sink and drink it from the opposite side that you would normally drink it out of...kinda upside downish

Sounds silly, but it works...I swear :)

Try to relax every muscle in your body. Think of the corpse pose in Yoga.

Works for me.

Yep. A little sugar packet will cure you right away. I wouldn't suggest more than one though. ;)

Try holding your breath. If that doesn't work, drink a whole glass of water without stopping. Drinking from the wrong side of the cup helps, too :)

This is totally unrelated, but on ER reruns the other day, a guy came in with hiccups he'd had for days. It turns out he had HIV :eek: It was really weird.

Take a shot of lime juice.



I'm serious.

Thats exactly whatI told him! He justr couldnt figure it out or maybe I am just bad at explaining it!

lie on a couch on your back with your head touching the floor in front of the couch. have a class of water in front of you, and drink from it slowly while upside down like that. be careful to not get it up/down your nose.

works for me everytime.

I drink some water. I bend over at the waist and swallow the water upside down. Sugar works also.

Using a pencil--- rub the eraser on the back of our your throat. Just up and down, gently.

breath holding is a good thing. a shot of scotch or another form of whiskey helps.

a spoon full of peanut butter

By the time it melts in your mouth, your hiccups will be gone (that's my old family cure and it does work!)
