All methods of relieving hiccups work the same way. With some practice, you can do it without using any of them. If you concentrate on waiting for the next hiccup you can prevent it from ever coming. It takes some practice! Good luck

While standing, hold your breathe, and try to touch your toe and stay in that position as long as you can stand it. \n\nSeveral times until hiccups dissapear. It really works!

When the diaphragm becomes irritated it pulls down in sudden jerks resulting in sudden gasps of air.  When this air hits you vocal cords it results in the familiar hiccup sound.  The diaphragm can become irritated from eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or a feeling nervousness or excitement.

THere isnt a scientific way to get rid of them. But some folk remedies are scaring people, eating a tablespoon of white sugar, or breathing in a paper bag. Hiccups are sudden, involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle. As the muscle contracts repeatedly, the opening between your vocal cords snaps shut to check the inflow of air and makes the hiccup sound. Irritation of the nerves that extend from the neck to the chest can cause hiccups.

This always works on me.......take a deep breath and hold it for 10 seconds, breath it out slowly until you have no more air in your lungs and then dont breath in for 10 seconds, breath in slowly....your hiccups should be gone!!!  You may need to do it twice!  Hope that helps!

Hiccups are a result of spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the dome-shaped respiratory muscle seperating the chest from the abdomen. It aids in breathing by moving up and down, sending air in and out of the lungs. Find a picture to get a better idea of how this works. Hiccups are an involuntary (meaning we don't make them happen or continue to happen, they do so on their own, just like breathing and our heart beating are involuntary) rapid closing of the vocal cord that causes the sound you hear, "hiccup!" Common causes of hiccups include eating too fast, indigestion and laughing a lot, thereby inhaling and exhaling air irratically.

My mother told me to drink water but i prefer holding breath. Hiccup appeared because of lack of oxygen, i think, so holding ur breath will be good. Hold for 10 seconds and do it for3 to 5 times and it will be cured!!!

well hiccups happen when u swallow air and then u eat too \nfast. so its not bad but in some casesof the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual, and it's usually a sign of another medical problem.

For me, I day-dream on purpose.  When you day-dream you forget about the hiccups, and breathe normal, thus, getting rid of the hiccups.  For anyone who reads this, you really should try this; IT WORKS!

Don't listen to those morons. All you need to cure hiccups is a little consentration. At first, this will be a bit tricky and may require silence. Afer a little while, it will require nothing more than a moment of thought. It NEVER fails, once you get the hang of it.

Hiccups are caused from air bubbles.  The best thing to do is to get a teaspoon of peanut butter and put the whole thing in your mouth and work on it and swallow.  Everytime my daughter gets them, that's what I use and as soon as she swallows the first bit, they're gone.

Hiccups are gulping sounds caused by involuntary spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the chest and abdomen and helps with breathing. Hiccups can be triggered if you eat too much or too fast, consume very hot or cold foods and beverages, or drink carbonated beverages. Other causes include cold showers, entering or leaving a hot or cold room, sudden excitement, and stress. \nHiccups are not a serious medical condition and usually disappear on their own within a few minutes. If they last longer than 24 hours, hiccups may be a sign of another condition or injury. You should see your health care provider if you experience prolonged hiccuping. \n\nHome remedies are usually the primary treatment for hiccups, although no one is really sure how well they work. Hiccup home remedies include sneezing, being suddenly frightened, holding your breath, gargling, drinking pineapple juice, drinking water rapidly, sipping ice water, or swallowing dry granulated sugar. These activities may help by altering breathing patterns.
