What do you do when you start and you can not stop hiccupping?

usually when i hiccup, i breathe deeply, then when i feel my lungs are full, i hold my breath for a while, then release. a few repetitions usually does the job.

I normally hold my breath and count to twenty. If my husband see that i have the hiccups, he only waits for his cgange and the second you do not expect it,he gives me a real fright. Then all my hiccups are gone. Try it, hope that will help.

When I start to hiccup I will quickly take a glass of water. My hiccup will soon go and I feel relieved.

dear ice, i was taught the technique of holding my breath for as long as i can. first is inhaling really deep and when i reach the last breath.. i hold it. when i feel my lungs already wants to burst. i exhale but slowly releasing the air in my lungs. i do it several times. then the hiccups are gone. ann

Well, I see if can try and wait it out. Breathing normally helps when I am having the hiccups. I know a lot of people think that you should hold your breath but really that does not help at all. Also, I get a drink if I can manage to get to it. I know scaring someone helps get rid of the hiccups. So...well I can always look at the stock market, I suppose. That can tend to be scary on a lot of days.

hiccups, i know some treatment that could help you relieve your hiccups for some time. drink a glass full of water without stopping, that works for me. or put a 1/3-1/2-spoon full of sugar at your mouth and let it dissolve there. ive read some books and articles also that you should try to breath deeply or breath on a paperbag. never done breathing on a paper bag, but drinking water and the spoonful of sugar really works for me. you shouldn't be embarrassed having hiccups, many people have it too. there's a medicine for that, if your having hiccups with chestpain, or at your heart, better consult your physicians about that and never take that for granted. just avoid acidic and spicy food, never induced yourself to vomiting.im not onto panic situation, just be calm, rest and prioritize what you should do..

When I get the hiccups I try and stop them fast by holding my breath. It usually works for me but sometimes it does not. If I am at home I try and drink upside down and that also works for me. I hate getting the hiccups because sometimes they are hard to stop and it is embarrassing to talk when you have them.

When I start hiccuping, I just drink lot of water. It normally helps if not i just keep hiccuping as I can not help it out. because if I try to stop it, weird sound comes.

it is not amusing. specially in my case, my hiccups are loud that it almost sounds like a burp. so, what i do is i drink water. lots of it. if there's no water at hand i stop breathing as long as i can hold my breath. after that, my hiccups would stop.

The only thing that cures hiccups and I have used this for MANY MANY MANY years is a teaspoonful or a packet... of sugar pour it on your tongue and then just slowly suck on it until it dissolves.. 98% of the time it works right off..And your hiccups will be gone. (I always carry a couple sugar packets in my purse -so this works great). The 2% of the time it doesn't work wight away.. just do it again.. by the 2nd spoonful.. they will go away!!! Honest.. it has never failed for me!
