Hiccups

[BabyPiglet]

Please, do you have any ways to get rid of hiccups? I have had them for like an hour and they're just not going away!

It's air trapped somewhere around the diaphragm. I take a deep breath and then breath in some more until I can't do more, then I let my lungs press down on my diaphragm and hold it. That usually stops them immediately.

I really like your sig pic. Is that stock or did someone you know take it?

It may sound gross but whenever I have the hiccups I take a teaspoon full of mustard. It usually goes away--not saying that it will work for you though. Just a suggestion.

Still there?

Usually drinking 10 gulps of water, or more if possible, without a breath works for me.

Nope nobody I know took it, I found it on www.photobucket.com I have a whole bunch like it, I like to change my signature around a lot.

And thanks for all the suggestions! I tried the breathing one and it worked! Yay, thank you so much.

I used to change my signature around a lot.

My stepmom taught me the best way to get rid of hiccups and it works every time: take a glass of water, cover it with a paper towel and drink the water through the towel. Not sure why it works, but it does.

I get hiccups a lot. The only thing that consistently works for me is eating a spoonful of peanut butter.
