hiccups: how to prevent them

Tweet

hiccups are very annoying, wouldnt you agree? especially when you're in a meeting, doing something important like a project, or even riding on the public transportation. usually, we would drink a couple glasses of water to stop it, right? there is one effective way, in my own opinion and theory, that could stop it. iv been using this method for a few years already and its proven effective for me and some other people iv taught this method to. ok, here it is. at the first attack of the hiccup(this is very important), stop whatever your doing, anything, just stop. keep perfectly still, make sure nobody will distracts or move you, close your eyes too so that you won't move it(yes, even your eyes needs to be still). then hold your breath for at least 30 seconds, if you can make one minute, the better. you would notice within that time you've paused, theres no hiccup anymore. thats it, you've stopped your hiccup from continuing. remember, this has to be done at the very first hiccup attack, after that, this method wont work anymore, nor drinking a lot of water. this has just been a theory of mine, so im not saying its true for everybody, but for most people i know, it actually works. tell me if it works for you, too.:)
