i have the hic-ups

[Guest]

anybody got a cure? tried 'em all. nothing works except sleep.

i took a big drink of mr. pibb and got 'em. they can last for days (no bs'ing). i've had the hic-ups for 3 days in a row before. they suck.

Hiccups seem to be a sign of a lack of oxygen. Try sitting back and breathing deeply and regularly, it works for us. I always seem to hyperventilate though

If you say blue cow 3 times and you really believe that it works, you'll be cured!

i always thought that hiccups are an involuntary diaphragm reflex, as lesllie says to do with oxygen and the lungs.

i always found that long, slow, deep breathes really help, pushing the air from the lungs and then gradually taking it in again. being distracted does help too

hope they don't last 3 days, it could really knacker yout typing

Next time try holding your breath for thirty minutes. It works every time.
