12 second Cure for Hiccups

Forget drinking water upside down, holding your breath for 2 minutes, being frightened, meditation and all the others.  This is finally the true hiccup cure, stopping hiccups in as little as 12 seconds every time.

HICCUPS: a quick, involuntary inhalation that follows a spasm of the diaphragm and is suddenly checked by closure of the glottis, producing a short, relatively sharp sound. (http://www.dictionary.com)

I tend to get the hiccups around 4 times a week.  Sometimes they can go on for several minutes and it's a bit of a hassle.  I've tried all the so called "cures" with little to no success.  Even the cure which does work takes several minutes of effort.  It was only by accident that I stumbled onto what I believe is finally THE cure for hiccups.  To my knowledge this is unique and the fastest cure ever developed.  During a bad case several weeks ago I started holding my breath, then out of boredom began walking around my living room.  I decided to do a little stretching while holding my breath so placed my hands above my door frame and leaned forward, and what do you know within seconds the hiccups stopped.  You should feel an arch to your back and your abdomen stretching.  Continue to push your hands upwards and let the weight of your body send you through the door frame.  Maintain this stretched position for 30-60 seconds while holding a big breath.  I take my large breath then perform the stretch and hold.  I have gotten my cure down to about 12 seconds now.  I've included an image in this post of the cure in action.  That's all!  Happy curing :)

I always hold my breath for several seconds and the hiccups are gone. Works flawlessly for me.

Lol, Anony-Mice, I tried it! IT REALLY WORKS! You should all try it too.

You are all way off!

The only method to get rid of hiccups is to sit on a plunger, allowing it to go far into your rectum.

After the plunger has started to massage the inner wall of your rectum, have someone pull it out and replace it with a large funnel.

Pour 1 quart of diet pepsi (not coke) into the funnel. You will need to relax all of the muscles in your rectum as best as possible.

Once you have all of the diet pepsi inside of you, then have them quickly insert several mentos into your rectum. Once they have done that, squeeze down then jump up and down.

You will feel some pressure build up. Bend over, facing away from your friend and let it all go!

Wait... what were we talking about?

Apparently hiccups are a common problem in the OR, and nurses insert a catheter up the sedated patient's nose, which stimulates a nerve that stops the diaphragm action which causes hiccups. Anything similar inserted into the nose will stop hiccups instantly.

Have someone kick you in the stomach real hard.

just holding my breath works for me ...
no door frame or skipping or water necessary ...
hehe ...

Orgasm. I stand by it. Wiki it to see more details. Takes slightly longer than 12 seconds, but the payoff it worth it (no more hiccups, of course).

simple solution...hiccups are a spasm of the diaphragm...the diaphragm's crucial funtion is respiration (aka breathing)...so control your breathing and you control your hiccup via the diaphragm....sit down, focus and take a few controlled breathes, and the hiccup will be gone....

drink a glass of water while pressing the end of the handle of a metal spoon against your temple with the spoon part in the water. make sure there is a good contact between you temple skin and the metal spoon. and make sure the spoon touches the water the whole time.
Don't know why it works but I have used it for years

Take a whiff of carbon dioxide. Instantly gone for me. I don't remember where I heard of this. Back in high school my dad brewed his own beer and made soda--we had a CO2 tank. A quick inhale (almost painfully ticklish) and hiccups gone. Either that or I'd hyper-ventilate into a bag to increase the C02 and get rid of 'em. And, if this is completely wrong, don't tell that to my brain, because I need this solution to still work. ;)

Yeah, but I'm not tall enough to do that D:

Hiccups are caused by uncontrolled breathing. In order to get rid of them, control your breathing so intensely that the hiccups disappear.

Humming a song with complex, powerful tones is best. (Humming because you can do it strongly without being as loud.)

Try humming Vader's theme song from Star Wars -- calms my lung nerves and stops hiccups every time! No water, sugar, or doorways required, but it helps if you're standing up straight.

My cure includes holding your breath, though it does not include stretching in the manner you have specified. Luckily, that means you can do it anywhere.

Basically, I take as deep a breath as I can, then hold. But then I begin moving the pressure of the air from my mouth down to my lungs. Have to have your mouth closed to accomplish this. It is difficult to explain how I do this, but it ends up locking my diaphram in place, so that each hiccup barely causes a spasm.

Normally they're gone very quickly.

[Junkguy]

Interesting method... but will it blend?

[Timmy]

One that always works for me.

Block your ears, and drink some water

[KnowItAll]

The one that works for me every time requires a second person. If someone covers your ears and you drink a whole glass of water they will stop.

Heard about this in one of those Ladies magazines about 10 years ago and it never fails.

[David]

What about digital rectal massage?

[David S]

So, this is how I get rid of hiccups.

When I get the hiccups I tell myself that I do not have hiccups I affirm that I do not have hiccups. Since I was about 12 I suffer from 1 hiccup before I tell myself that I don't have them and they go away.

Cures work because you believe they work.

Timmy, you need someone else to cover your ears?

It is not that hard to do it with your index fingers while holding the cup in your hands...

Actually, hiccups are a muscular problem, not a GI thing; it's just your diaphragm acting up. That means a major muscle that aids breathing is spasming and causing deep, rapid inhalations, which we call hiccups or hiccoughs.
Some people need medication to help them stop, but these muscle relaxants are only for those whose episodes are consistantly longer than one day.

The stretching thing will probably be more effective than swallowing sugar, drinking water funny, or any other form of ingestion-reliant methods, which only briefly change the breathing pattern. It also activates your muscles, and for those familiar with stretching before and after exercise, this is essential for cooling muscles and releasing lactic acid.

So that's my long-winded two bits. ^__^

Drink beer. I haven't had hiccups for 5 years now, nor have I had "Gas" (the painful stomach kind).

There's a lot of strange "ailments" that I don't suffer from any longer.

It could also be that drinking beer (bitter), reduces the amount of rich foods that I consume (ie, I don't eat Chocolate anymore either).

[Mikey]

All of these cures are for pussies. Just focus for a minute on any given point in the room. Concentrate, use your mind. Focusing on anything hard will make your hiccups stop. It's all mental.
