Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath whilst jumping up and down. Always works for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath for an amount of time you deem necessary to not end in death. Alternative get someone to scare you...but it's 5 past 1 so the first option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 22, 2007 You know that this is really weird. I haven't had the actual hiccups in ages. But I get a random hiccup or two every couple of days. Sometimes I hiccup and don't get another one untill 6 hours later when another appears. It's weird Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 I say what Stefkov said, the first option. Always works for me after a few attempts =] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath. Or take a long walk off a short cliff...I'd rather you did the first. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath. Or take a long walk off a short cliff...I'd rather you did the first. :p Aww thanks! i have tried your second option before it HURTS! and doesn't work I shall try all your options at once! In an attempt to form some sort of crazy hiccup experiment, as a combination of the whole lot might be the key to getting rid of the hiccups faster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath for an amount of time you deem necessary to not end in death. You can't actually die from holding your breath - you just pass out and start breathing again. Anyway, I find the best way to get rid of hiccups is to drink a cold glass of water slowly and surely but without stopping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 BOO! Did I scare you? I heard it works? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Gah this does my head in... i never get a string of hiccups i just get the one... more than once a day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 What you need to do is close your eyes AND hold your breath at the same time. When you feel yourself gasping for air or starting to..well..cease to live, that is when you open your eyes. And continue breathing. I do it all the time, works for me. I haven't died once, yet.

Posted December 22, 2007 BOO! Did I scare you? I heard it works? AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! *breaths heavily* that terrified me! *hiccup* didn't work though, unfortunately! I've tried the shock one before but it has never worked! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I find the best way to get rid of hiccups is to drink a cold glass of water slowly and surely but without stopping. You never know. One day, lack of oxygen to the brain resulting in a trigger being flipped and your body just doesn't know how to breath without other means. You never know. How about going for the extreme.

Posted December 22, 2007 Drink a glass of water upside down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 22, 2007 Hold your breath, sit upside down, have someone BOO you, and pour water in your mouth. If it goes right, you lose your hiccups. If it goes wrong...well....you die. But dead people can't hiccup! WIN/WIN! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
