Hiccups are causes by your diaphragm being in spasm.  So my theory is try to get the diaphragm out of spasm by tweaking it.  Breathe in deeply and expand your chest and push out your stomach muscles.  Hold it for as long as you can, and then repeat.  It does work most of the time.\n\nIf you would a long list of possible solutions please check this link.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccups

Hello I was wonder if you are a soda drinker? I know from personal experience that if you drink pop you must clean your teeth after word or the sugar & acid in it remain on your teeth almost all day even more so on your back teeth. so after eating or drinking anything try to risen out ur mouth with water or even wipe ur teeth off after woulds with a cloth if you can't bruse them every lillte bit helps when wanting to save ur teeth or give up drinking anything persweetened(pop,tea,coffee sweetened,lemonaides,etc.)Try using paste that are good for ur type of teeth and ask ur Dentist about it may you need a coating placed over your teeth to help them be portected.

If you go outside and find a small smooth pebble.  Then you place that pebble underneath a log, your hiccups will be cured.

you need to get in touch with your doctor or get a doctor,cuz you might have a illness that irritates the phrenic nerve in the diaphragm,you can get hiccups when you overeat,eatting too fast,drinking carbonated beverages.This method that someone told me to do once when I had the hiccups get a glass of water, a straw, put the straw in the glass of water put your mouth on the straw and block your ears with your fingers and drink the water thur the straw all of it. It works everytime when I have the hiccups.Good Luck.....

You have probably been told drink water or crystal light.  I suggest green tea.  The Japanese kind, and it is usually sugarless, but it helps you a lot.\n\nGood luck.

I'm with you on the sugar substitutes. Splenda is not bitter like the others but I find it leaves that filmy after taste.UGH! Best bet, do what my mom did and just decrease your sugar a little bit daily. She says you get used to it if you do it this way. After a while she got to the point she hated the taste of sugar in her tea. I can help with the salt thing though. My mom had blood pressure issues. She piled salt on her food like it was snowing in her plate. No salt is gross. she rejected it right away, but I finally found something called Salt Sense. It is real salt with 33% less sodium. She never noticed the difference. Now my whole family uses it. It does not eliminate salt, but it helps. they sell it in the grocery store where the regular salt is.

Practice reading out loud in front of a mirror 15 min a day. This may help with the stuttering.. A cab driver gave me this tip. Now I only stutter when I am overtired.

Oh man I've swallowed sea water and felt like barfing. I'm thinking if someone drank a bunch of salt water on purpose they couldn't keep it down. Everyone but me that is. lol One time I thought I'd eaten bad food. It scared me so bad I tried to get rid of it. No luck. So I figured I'd mix baking soda with water and chug it. That's kinda like salt water. Well after chugging one large glass of this nasty stuff. lol. I tried and tried to barf. Fingers down the throat wouldn't work. Soooo, lol, down the hatch went another large glass of this nasty tasting stuff. I tried and tried. It never came up. So I wound up digesting all of it. lmao. The really old food and all that baking soda. Sick!\n.

Studies have indicated that hiccups are actually spasms of the diaphragm; a strong upside-down, u-shaped muscle that, in basic terms, separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity.  This muscle is prone to occasional spasm, just as a spasm that can occur in the leg, arm, back, or any other part of the body.  There are many "remedies" for hiccups; some of which are sworn by some people to work.  However, if hiccups become more than occasional or really bothersome, check with your doctor.  He can answer any questions you may have and suggest options for you.  Good Luck!!!

What worked for me was drinking more water. Sometimes it seemed like I was hungry, but my body wanted water, not food. Instead of just plain water I'd make some Crystal light or sugarless Kool aid also. (just water gets "boring" after a while!)

K. This is the best rememdy I've ever found.  \n1. Breath out all the air in your lungs that you can. \n2. without inhaling drink about 10-12 oz. of cool water without stopping or taking a breath in the middle (especially don't take a breath while drinking, you may drown).  \n3. Hiccups - gone\nI've ever - in 30 years seen it not work one time and that was with someone who had chronic hiccups.

You can try drinking a glass of water while bending over and drinking from the opposite side of the glass or you can try holding the mid portion of your clavicle to compress the phrenic nerve, which controls your diaphram, which gives you the hiccups when it is in spasm. : )

The best way is to try and dry out your entire mouth especially underneath your tongue. then when its all dry, curl your tongue back and then push it down and forward at the same time. It works for me on occasion and that's what was told to me. Good Luck!

No, drinking water with meals, before meals, or after meals is not\nharmful in any way.\nLot of complementary practitioners recommend against drinking water with meals, believing it dilutes the stomach acid and, hence, interferes with proper digestion. Technically this is not true.\nBefore breakfast, drink a glass of water while still lying down: the fluid is absorbed more rapidly and stimulates drainage and purification of thebody. \nDo not forget that a glass of water before a meal helps\n"freshen up" the palate. - During meals, drink a glass of water\nbetween each course in order to prepare your palate for different\ntastes. - Between meals, never worry about drinking too much andconsume at least one large glass every two hours. - Before going to bed, drink a large glass of water to help "wash your body through".  Always take small mouthfuls which quench the thirst more efficiently than big ones.”
