Hiccups for the last week?!


Question: Hiccups for the last week!?
I have been battling hickups, usually when I eat, for about a week now!. I recently started suffering from anxiety and panic attacks, so I'm on Lexapro and Xanax!. Any ideas what they're from or how to stop them!. Holding my breath doesn't work!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hiccups are almost entirely mental, and if you're prone to anxiety attacks where you can't control what your mind is focusing on, it could affect your ability to "forget" that you have the hiccups and let the spasm stop!.
Have someone try to distract you, or if you have to eat alone, bring along a book or something to occupy yourself so you don't get "reminded!." Or, tell yourself that if you can hiccup three more times in the next ten minutes, you can go buy new shoes (or something appealing to you)!. Chances are good you won't be able to force yourself to hiccup, and they'll be gone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I was hiccuping real bad in math class one day and my teacher told me to stand up on a chair and hiccup for the whole class!. Once I got on the chair, I couldn't even force a hiccup if a tried!. Sometimes it's a conscious thing!. Get in front of a group of people and announce obnoxiously that you're gonna hiccup for everyone to hear!.

If that doesn't work, there's always hanging yourself upside down!.

I sometimes take a huge glass of water and drink the whole thing, swallowing really hard with each gulp!.

Good luck with them hiccups!Www@Answer-Health@Com
