I don't get hiccups like most others. When I get them I get them for at least two to three days, sometimes even a week. I will fall asleep and wake up to hiccuping. You may think it's funny and not really that annoying but it sucks a lot. Hiccups at first are just a mild annoyance but after hours it effects my breathing and hurts my stomach. I went to the doctor and he didn't think I was serious at first but eventually he came back with some medicine that didn't do anything. I only get hiccups a few times a year so it's not on the top of my priority list...especially since they EVENTUALLY go away.

I used to be able to get rid of them by holding my breath but it rarely works now. It only sometimes works when I hold my breath so long that it hurts and feels like I'm gonna pass out...and it only gets rid of them for like an hour at most. I just woke up this morning with hiccups and its lame cause I know I'm gonna have to deal with it all day during work and most likely tomorrow and the next day...anyone have any hiccup cures? I've tried everything.

Get someone to press on your eardrums whilst drinking a glass of water and pressing yourself on the belly. Works like a charm - or makes you look like an idiot, not sure which (it actually sorta works).

I've got a theory (nothing as scientific as that word makes it sound) that says hiccups are caused by dehydration. Usually lots of water then hold your breath for a while works for me. Sounds like a more serious thing for you though.

OK, I have a solution that has never failed me since I discovered it.

Take a HUGE breath, I mean the MAXIMUM you can take in your lungs. Hold the air in and continue adding more air focefully by using your mouth as a pump: take a 'bite' of air and push that air to the lungs. Keep doing it until you start feeling uncomfortable. THEN HOLD for as long as you can!

this has never failed me.
let me know if it works for you, or if you need more clarification.

If you try with all your will to hiccup once more you'll never be able to.
It takes a lot of will power though.

You might want to ask your doctor about your hiccups next time you go because 2-3 days every time you get them is a little abnormal.

Edit: Wait nvm you asked your doctor...so I dunno. Apparently people have gone years hiccuping which is pretty amazing.

What i do is either keep pumping up air like nite, or i take a breath, then exhale all i can as quicky as possible and keep holding my breath. It always works and my hiccups are gone within like 10 seconds of it starting.

As a result people who walk around hiccuping annoy me

Last time I got a hiccup, I realized I haven't really experienced one properly in a long time, coz I always stop it immediately. So I walked around the house hiccuping for like 5 minutes and then it got annoying again.

I typically don't get hiccups either, and when I do they last for anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours.

The other day at work I got hiccups and a friend there told me if I stare at one object and really focus on it, it would stop them. So I looked at the logo on the frame of the monitor in the office, and just focused on it and after a moment they were gone.

I don't know if this works realistically or if it was just a coincidence but I guess it's worth a shot.

hiccups are really irritating when you get them lol. I think the remedy is just to gulp down warm water (which works for me most of the time)

lol same. I thought he was doing some kind of play on words or something. But hiccuping sucks man, the way I get through mine is i hold my breath and swallow three times, if i can without hiccuping through that Im usually fine.

There's one that usually works for me. My dad says "I'll give you $__ if you can hiccup 5 more times." Usually I get to 3 or 4 and then they're gone. It works if I say it to myself too.

The best way to get rid of hiccups is to give them to someone else.

usually i just take a long and deep breath several times in a row, and the hiccup just goes away, read somewhere before one of the reason why hiccup happens is because your body is lacking oxygen or something and the muscle spasm is your body's reaction to suck in more air or something...

true starcraft nerd .
everyones got their own ways of dealing with hiccups, coming from my mom, and me, well, not her but yeah. Grab any fizzy drink, and take 9 quick sips, i guess what it does is causes you to hold your breath then something to do with the quantity of gas created by the drink, i dont f'ing know science about it, but it works 50/50 for reals. Try it, let us know. I've always used pepsi, i've got a pepsi mom. If ya'll know what them be.

I always found that drinking tablespoonfulls of vinegar cures hiccups. They sometimes go away after the first tablespoonful, but if they don't, the second spoonful has always done the trick.

If it doesn't work for you after, say, the twelfth spoonful, I suppose it might not work for everyone, and it might be advisable to give up.

Such extreme hiccups are probably not the purposeful-body-reflex kind. It is possible that your hiccups are a reaction to stress or something else, seemingly nonrelated. Try a psychologist.
Take us into orbit Mr. Malmsteen. We've seen enough.

I use this method too. Basically fill your lungs to their max capacity and hold the air in there for as long as possible. It never fails me.

This works: Before your third hiccup, press your thumb and your fourth finger together (either hand) until they stop. It works!

just about all these remedies I have tried and they work for a little bit but eventually they all stop working...

like 6-8 years ago I had lung surgery and I got an episode of the hiccups the day after when i was in the hospital..worst experience of my life...everytime I hiccuped it ripped all the stitches...the hiccups were worse than the actual surgery and recovery pain lol

oh and the most successful method I have tried is you drink as much water in a glass through a straw while plugging your ears and nose...it looks ridiculous but its the best method for me...but once again...it only works for a couple hours
