Hiccups

[richboywonder]

does anybody know how to get rid of hiccups besides drinking water upside down,getting scared,or holding your breath.

[Zeromus_X]

Don't think about them. They will go away. Of course, once you remember you did have hiccups, they'll be right back. But that's usually how it is for me.

I always get those horrible hiccups that hurt the back. Ugh. But it's still alot better than heartburn...

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

It work? No? Shoot. =(

Just do what Zeromus said. They go away if you take your mind off of them.

Watch one of thoes trick videos on the net. Where its a game, or a peacefull video, then somthing scary happens. I watch one every time i get them and it scares them away =).

[richboywonder]

those hiccups were making me throw up.i had it like 5 times today.how do you get hiccups anyway.

Wikipedia article :

While many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing, or drinking an excess of an alcoholic beverage. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or rarely by tumors and certain kidney disease. It is reported that 30% of chemotherapy patients suffer singultus as a side effect to treatment.

Interesting enough, a hiccup is a diaphram spasam.

World record

The Guinness World Record for the longest continuous bout of hiccups (1922–1990) goes to Charles Osborne (1894–1991) from Anthon, Iowa. The hiccups started in 1922 at a rate of 40 times per minute, slowing to 20 and eventually stopping in February 1990 – a total of 68 years

That guy got 0Wn3D

Hiccups 40 times a min (went to 20 eventualy) for 68 YEARS. He probobly didnt breath, he just hiccuped to have air enter his lungs =P.

My...goodness. That's almost as bad as having the dreaded affliction of all status ailments, heartburn, for 70 years! (As you can tell, I really hate heartburn.)

I usually get hiccups from drinking excessive amounts of water all at once, so that would explain why...

[richboywonder]

what about talking too fast don't you get hiccups for that.

Lol, i dont think many people enjoy heartburn.

But see with hiccups for 68 years, i could see getting used to it, and it becoming a daily thing. It must have been hard for him to comunicate though.

And im not sure about talking to fast.. that may fall under excessive laughing/coughing. I dont know why it would fall there, it just seems like it would.

And if you have really bad heartburn, drink a whole lotta water. It evens out the PH levels in your stomach.

[richboywonder]

then once you hiccup you'll be throwing up a hand full of water.

Drinking water upside down? Not heard that one before.

I get rid of them just by drinking a large glass of water, right side up :p.

It works for me every time.

[Zeromus_X]

Seriously? Wow. I've always been told to do that, but it never works for me.

Maybe I'm just not doing it right.

I've got to try this! :p

[Luis]

Scaring me has never worked. It's been a long time since I last had hiccups, but as a child I was told to drink water with 'small swigs' (literally translated xD )
I don't think there is a way to avoid them (for me), they go away the same way they come.

[John Smith]

You can't even dream about how funny your post was richboy :D:D:D

[Kat]

the only reason it didnt scare me was because the volume was low and i knew somthing was going to happen,i was alert :D

[Kat]

Thanks for a good laugh, richboywonder, lol.

[Shaggy]

Ok here is what I do.

Take a drink of water, don't swallow. Keep it in you mouth. Then plug your ears with your fingures (or how ever you want to do it) and while plugging your ears, swallow the water. Try timing it when a hicup is about to happen. Works everytime for me. ;)

[richboywonder]

what if you hiccup and swallow water at the same time.wouldn't that make you choke.

[Hydra]

It stays in your mouth for an extra second or two, and you swallow it. =D

I either laugh or get scared to death. That usually works.

[Shaggy]

Nah, you really swallow it before the hicup happens. Serious, this really works for me.

[ShadowHeart]

Interesting. But what if you are outdoors and far away from home when you get it? :p

Holding my breath always works for me. Simple and can do it anywhere :D

You stop by the nearest Mcdonalds and fat the hiccups away.

Obviously. ^___^

Or drink them away.

[Kat]

hmmm drinking any thign never makes my hiccups go away,i just choke on whatever im drinkning >.<

[richboywonder]

or you could laugh really hard.

[Hydra]

or you could laugh really hard.
That works really well too. :D

[richboywonder]

funny like your signature.those are some killer bunnies.they just killed that dude.

[Hydra]

You could look at my signature and get rid of hiccups. XD

[richboywonder]

that signature makes me laugh every time i look at it.

[Hydra]

Hey, it's a way to get rid of hiccups. I'll have to test it out next time I get them.

[richboywonder]

i think i asked this question but how do you even get hiccups.

[Hydra]

Hiccups are commonly caused by distention of the stomach, which you get if you eat too much, drink carbonated beverages, or swallow too much air. I barely get them anymore, lol.
