I once had the hiccups for two days 😥
I watched a video on YouTube which instantly stopped my hiccup.
Try holding out your tongue as far as you can for 20-15 second. You can hold it by the tip to extend it.
It works instantly like magic 🪄✨

Why do you hiccups so hard … because I am Aquaman.
I can say that the "holding your breath" trick does work for me personally, but it's not as simple as just holding your breath for a moment. You have to completely fill your lungs with air, hold it for a good 30 or so seconds, and then slowly exhale. You'll usually have to hold out through one or two hiccup reflexes.
So one thing that works a lot is having another person say “I dare you to hiccup again” and then stare at the person hiccuping. My grandmother did that to students when she was a teacher. But she had them stand on the desk and have the entire class stare at the kid when she dared them
Teaspoon of sugar cures them!
Um, I DO know a method of stopping hiccups that I’ve NEVER seen fail. With strangers, with friends, and with my kid who had an annoyingly twitchy diaphragm, and used to get hiccups chronically from in the womb until about 4 years old.
The solution is not to just take a deep breath. That won’t work. Do this:
1) take in as deep a breath as you can, and hold for a count of 5.
2) without exhaling, try to take in two more fast breaths. Hold that for another count of 5
That’s it. They’ll be gone. If not, repeat the steps, but I’ve only seen one person ever have to repeat it a second time.
Because it's a reflex and not a disease dude… That's why.
So, hiccups are a hiccup in evolution.
Fun fact: Yawning is a trait specific to vertibrates. If you have a spine, you can yawn.
I don't know how to cure hiccups, but I know how to cause them. If I cough too much, it makes me hiccup.
This would explain why the brains default is yes hiccup
I can stop hiccuping at will, all I need to so is concentrate for a few seconds and I can get rid of them! My mom can do it, too, but I've never met another who could
If hiccups are from thousands of generations back, that means hiccups are one of the most passed down and special features, which could ALSO mean, there is gills somewhere in the digestive system, that we havent found yet, but who knows? Thats just my theory.
Hiccup.

Monkey hiccuping was funny😂
Yeah that's not even close to correct
they were humans
I thought we were humans in the begging, not fish like Adam and Eve
I make myself burp every time I get them and it always cures them for me. Sometimes I have to swallow some air to do so, but it always works.
I always drink timy sips of water while "holding the hiccup down", i don't know how else to describe it. Its gone within seconds
Swallowing milk upside down
Biological spaghetti code
Body, I have told you a MILLION times to stop using deprecated functions. For goodness sake, that one doesn't even do anything! What kind of software are you even trying to write?!
So to cure an involuntary air in problem caused by diaphragm spasm (hiccup) you need an involuntary air out diaphragm spasm (laughter). It has to be real laughter and not a fake one. Real laughter equals real results. A cure that works and willing share.
I once had a hiccup that lasted 2 days.
Fascinating
the reason there is no cure is probably that hiccups are rarely lethal
Dude, I got this product called HiccAway, which is a modified straw that makes you suck really hard to drink. It has worked for me very consistently and I tell people anytime it comes up. Idk if there's any research to show that it works for a wider demographic, though.
Waiting it out absolutely doesn't work at all for me. Or maybe it does, after a while, but before that it gets worse and my diaphragm gets genuinely painful.
"Waiting it out" certainly works for some. I mean, it does for my wife. She merely gets an annoyance at best, from her own hiccups, but it's not the case for everyone, and certainly not for me.
What works best is a combination of the "absurd folk remedies you make fun of": blowing out, and then holding my breath while slowly gulping down a full glass of water. Its good practice if you're a woodwind musician too, btw, or so I like to think. Anyway. Cures hiccups in a jiffy, before it has time to get painful.
I assume the reflex is to get rid of tiny particles stuck in the throat. But I don't remember any of my problems actually being solved by hiccups.
Eat freaking sugar!
I have tried drinking water while bending down a couple of times. I don’t know how, but I actually worked.
My gf’s a pt and she says the best cure is slow, deep breaths to force the diaphragm back under your control and stop spasming. Works every time for me
The diaphragm, unable to spasm with slow, controlled breathing stops hiccups in 2 minutes. I got fed up with big hiccups; I pulled my abdomen in and tight; pressed my fists against my abdomen then lay face down – raised my head, mouth open half an inch, controlled breath slowly in and out.
Now just I tighten my core, lean slightly forward with mouth – stupidly – ajar & breathe slowly.
Try it, it works if you do it properly – don't rush it!
