Help! I have the most painful hiccups. How do I get rid of them?!
Question: Take some deep breathes, then, when you feel ready, exhale fully and hold your breath for 10secs, repeat if needed.
This should reset the diaphragm. Works for me 100% of the time.
Numerous home remedies for hiccups exist. The reason that these remedies are thought to work is that carbon dioxide build-up in the blood will stop hiccups, which is what happens when you hold your breath. If the vagus nerve that runs from the brain to the stomach is stimulated, hiccups can also be alleviated (this is what is happening when you drink water or pull on your tongue).
Try these methods at home:
Hold your breath.
Drink a glass of water quickly.
Become frightened.
Use smelling salts.
Pull hard on your tongue.
Place one-half teaspoon of dry sugar on the back of your tongue. (You can repeat this process 3 times at 2-minute intervals. Use corn syrup, not sugar, in young children.)

drink lots of water,n visit a doc
take a big glup of water but keep it in your mouth, put your fingers in your ears and block your nose at the same time (use your thumbs in your ears and little fingers on your nose)
Then swallow the water very slowly, this always helps me!
this works for me without fail

you need to get the berjesus scared out of you. honestly! dont you people watch cartoons anymore?
i cant really suggest anything else but this: go to a website called albinoblacksheep and go into the file marked flash then go into the file marked prank and just go nuts. any mental scaring is at the risk of the viewer, any reseblance to girlfriends living or dead is purely coincidential.
Take a Tablespoon of peanut butter in the mouth all at once, eat it slow. This works very well.
Or get someone to offer you money to hiccup again. That works too.
Tips for Getting rid of Hiccups:
Repeated swallowing works for mild cases. Do this by holding your breath and repeatedly swallowing as fast as you can, or by slowly drinking down a beverage with as many swallows as is possible. It
