Draw a deep breath really slowly. Take at least 10 seconds to slowly fill your lungs to absolute capacity. Hold for 5 seconds. Blow out on a slow count of 10, completely emptying your lungs. Hold this for 5. Repeat for about 1 to 2 minutes. Voila!
Psychosomatic
* Distraction from one's hiccup (e.g. being startled, asked a perplexing question, or counting in reverse from 100 down)
* Concentration on one's hiccups - using sheer will to stop them
* While standing and concentrating on relaxation, extend the right arm and point with the index finger at a point to your right, and exhale. While inhaling, bring the tip of the index finger to the nose, and hold the breath for a moment - then exhale, dropping the finger away from the nose.
Respiratory
* Cutting air off from the esophagus. This is done by tipping one's head forward and downward as far as possible. It usually takes a minute. This usually does not work the first time.
* Breathing slowly and deeply in while thinking 'breathing out' and breathing slowly and fully out while thinking 'breathing in'
* Holding one's breath while optionally squeezing one's stomach
* Breathing deeply through the nose, then exhaling slowly through the mouth
* Exhaling all the air from one's lungs and holding one's breath while swallowing water or saliva
* Blowing up a balloon
* Inducing sneezing
* Insert fingers in ears and hold breath for as long as possible
* Attempting to burp
* Take a deep breath and hold it for until you feel the first pain wave, which means that your body has gotten over its hiccup, then wait for second pain wave which indicated you've ran out of oxygen, and breath out
* Exhaling all the air of one's lung and holding it until one can (theoretically stops the spasm on the diaphragm).
Other
* In babies, hiccups are usually immediately stopped by the suckling reflex, either by breastfeeding or simply by insertion of a finger, bottle teat or dummy into the baby's mouth.
* Take your right hand, and push it on your left arm.
* Pinch your ear lobe and breathe normally. Can turn into second-nature (psychosomatic).
* Close your eyes and look up as far as possible.
* Drink one shot of vinegar.
* Drinking a good amount of water
* Take 10 sips of water
* Chew a spoonfull of peanut butter slowly.
* Slowly swallow a spoonful of sugar.
* mix sugar into a cup of water and drink slowly
* Induce orgasm
* Take a glass of water and put a metal spoon in it, then drink.
[edit] Medical treatment
Ordinary hiccups are cured easily without medical intervention; in most cases they can be stopped simply by forgetting about them. However, there are a number of anecdotally prescribed treatments for casual cases of hiccups. These include being startled, drinking water while upside down, eating something very sweet, for example a tart (particularly lemon juice) [3], and anything that interrupts one's breathing. Another method is to exhale air into a small paper bag and to immediately re-inhale that air from it.
Hiccups are treated medically only in severe and persistent (termed "intractable") cases, such as in the case of a 15 year old girl who in 2007 hiccuped continuously for five weeks [4]. Haloperidol (Haldol, an anti-psychotic and sedative), metoclopramide (Reglan, a gastrointestinal stimulant), and chlorpromazine (Thorazine, an anti-psychotic with strong sedative effects) are used in cases of intractable hiccups. In severe or resistant cases, baclofen, an anti-spasmodic, is sometimes required to suppress hiccups. Effective treatment with sedatives often requires a dose that renders the person either unconscious or highly lethargic. Hence, medicating singultus is done short-term, as the affected individual cannot continue with normal life activities while taking the medication.
Persistent and intractable hiccups due to electrolyte imbalance (hypokalemia, hyponatremia) may benefit from drinking a carbonated beverage containing salt to balance out the potassium-sodium the in the nervous system. The carbonation promotes quicker absorption.
The administration of intranasal vinegar is thought to be safe and handy method to stimulate dorsal wall of nasopharynx, where the pharyngeal branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve (afferent of the hiccup reflex arc) is distributed.[3]
Dr. Bryan R. Payne, a neurosurgeon at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center in New Orleans, has had some success with an experimental new procedure in which a vagus nerve stimulator is implanted in the upper chest of patients with an intractable case of hiccups. "It sends rhythmic bursts of electricity to the brain by way of the vagus nerve, which passes through the neck. The Food and Drug Administration approved the vagus nerve stimulator in 1997 as a way to control seizures in some patients with epilepsy. In 2005, the agency endorsed the use of the stimulator as a treatment of last resort for people with severe depression."[5]
Sugar water.
Sugar water relaxes the throat muscles.
