Question:

How do ya get rid of hiccups?

..Apart from waiting for them to pass by..


Answers:

Hiccups are caused by spasm of the diaphragm, the big muscle that separates the lungs from the abdominal cavity.
Try taking a really deep breath and hold it for as long as comfortable. Do this a couple of times. If you have chronic hiccups, that is, you have hiccups ALOT!, see your GP.
