What is the best and quickest way to get rid of hiccups?

  • I get hiccups at the most inconvinient times, like during a silent class, and it's very embarrassing. What triggers them, and what is the fasest way to get rid of them? I usually hold my breath, since I don't want to ask to go get some water, and it usually works...eventually. Any quicker way, or a way to avoid them altogether?

  • Answer:

    i always get the hiccups for no reason and i found out that the best way to get rid of them is to bend over and drink from a cup upside down (since your focusing on doing it correctly it gets rid of the hiccups.) its kinda hard to do at first but once you figure it out it works every time.

take a deep breath in and swallow it. Works every time :]

OK here the best way I know, but not everyone has the items in their house. Cut a lime wedge sprinkle Bitters on to it, then bite into the wedge. Another way is to eat a teaspoon of sugar all at once.

Hiccups are caused by irritation or over excitation of the phrenic nerve. This in turn operates the muscle which controls your diaphragm, involuntarily, causing hiccups. If you hold your breath this will reduce your blood pressure dramatically and at the same time relax all of your blood vessels and central/peripheral nerves thus reducing the excitability of your phrenic nerve/diaphragm leading to the cessation of hiccups. Ta-daaaaa!

as far as i know, theres no way 2 prevent them. but holding ur breath works really good. and if they dont stop in a few mins, then go ask for water, and (YES THIS ACTUALLY WORKS) go drink water for exactly 7 seconds while holding ur breath. my algebra teacher taught it 2 us one day when this girl was hiccuping really badly! hope i helped & good luck(:
