Hold your breath while taking seven sips of water - a little ginger can also help (ginger root or ginger ale)

Peppermint... or Ginger Ale\nSometimes the best thing is to just upchuck..\nAnd  I forgot about it because it doesnt work all the time - but the "warm rag on your tummy" does work sometimes (usually for the gassy feeling)

Hiccup\n\nA hiccup or hiccough (generally pronounced "HICK-up" (IPA: /ˈhɪ.kəp/) independent of the spelling) is an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm; typically this repeats several times a minute. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the glottis to close, creating the "hic" noise. A bout of hiccups generally resolves by itself, although many home remedies are in circulation to shorten the duration, and medication is occasionally necessary. By extension, the term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern. The medical term is singultus.\nWhile many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing, or drinking an excess of an alcoholic beverage. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or rarely by tumors.\nIt is still unclear to scientists exactly why hiccups occur, particularly because it doesn't seem to give us any specific benefit. Some speculation exists that hiccups are a remnant of a bodily function that has been phased out by evolution, such as the move from aquatic gilled creatures to land animals. More research is required to ascertain their true nature, origins, and purpose, if any.\n\nHome remedies\nThe following are some commonly suggested home remedies. While numerous remedies are offered, they mostly fall into a few broad categories. These categories include purely psychosomatic cures centered around relaxation and distraction, cures involving swallowing and eating (with the rationale generally that this would remove irritants or reset mechanisms in the affected region), and cures involving controlled/altered breathing.\nWhile the first two categories may prove effective for many short lived and minor cases of hiccups, those suffering from an intractable case may become desperate sorting through various ineffective home remedies. Many of the cures centered around controlled breathing (i.e. holding breath) are often ineffective. The only underlying rationale could be the displacement of an irritated nerve through prolonged diaphragmatic expansion.\nHowever, one respiratory remedy has a fairly sound rationale underlying it. Breathing into a bag or small enclosed container (ensuring that it is completely sealed around the mouth and nose) induces a state that is termed respiratory acidosis. The effect is caused by increasing the amount of inspired carbon dioxide, which then increases the serum level of carbon dioxide. These increased levels of CO2 lower the pH in the blood, hence creating a state of acidosis. This state of acidosis produces vasodilation and depression of the central nervous system. The effect allows for increased blood flow to the affected muscles, and suppression of the aberrant nervous impulses. Inducing a state of acidemia through hyperventilation is particularly effective in curing hiccups because the diaphragm rests directly against the pulmonary vasculature that is then flowing with especially low pH blood. This is a potentially dangerous action; and should only be done with another person present. As the serum CO2 level rises abruptly, the person will begin to feel lightheaded and within a few minutes will pass out. If done without a spotter, the person might either injure him or herself as he or she passes out, or pass out in such a way that the bag or container continues to prevent oxygen intake (see also asphyxia).\nAdditionally, another respiratory remedy, while having no sound scientific principle behind it, is paradoxically one of the most effective in treating persistent hiccups. One breathes out all the air that they are able to in one long exhalation then breathes in all the air they feel they possibly can in one continuous inhalation. The person then attempts to b

hiccups: drink water from a straw or through a paper towel over your glass.\n\nbackpain:  heat and stretch.  take some advil for pain and inflammation\n\ndry coughs: lots and lots of liquid and cough medicine.\n\ngetting up in the middle of the night:  don't sleep too much during the day.  don't drink liquids within 2 hours of bed.  go to the restroom right before getting into bed.\n\nbad mood:  sunlight.  sun always makes us happier.  it's true.  also, avoid junk food.  junk food causes a real downer period after eating when your blood sugar drops off.  maintain a healthy diet and you'll experience less mood swings.  \n\ntension/stress:  keep organized.  this will provide less stress.  you may not know it, but if you keep your house messy it actually causes you to be more stressed.  clutter=stress.  Make time for yourself to just relax.  That could be a warm bath, shopping, etc...  Also, exercise!  It relieves stress and leaves you better able to cope with stressors throughout the day.

You've got to try this to believe it.  Get a glass of water and put a Kleenex over the top and hold it around the rim so it stays over the top of the glass.  Now drink the water using the tissue as a filter.  You have to drink it slow so it doesn't slop all over you, which is why I think this works...it must allow your diaphragm to relax.  I thought my teenage son was nuts when he had me try this but it has worked every single time I've done it.

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!!!

There are 2 ways I've found to be most effective, first is drink a glass of water and hold your breath while you do it and keep holding it as long after you swallow the water as you can, second when you start hiccuping think about your next hiccup, keep thinking about it as hard as you can and it usually stops, it sounds crazy but it's a psychological thing and it really works.

There is no one proven cure for the hiccups. Different things may work at different times and for different people. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the following hiccup remedies may be effective:\n\nHolding your breath \nSlowly drinking a cold glass of water \nBreathing into a paper bag \nEating a spoonful of sugar \nHaving someone startle you \nGently massaging the back of the roof of your mouth with a cotton swab for a minute or so

A fancy home remedy. Camomile and peppermint tea. You want to both the camomile and peppermint fresh. I was very sick, I was vomiting and could not stop. \nI got a hold of my parents and they bought me camomile and mint and made me some tea, they also told me to eat some of the mint tablets. The vomiting stopped. \n\nThis is just a suggestion. We all react differently to things. \n\nCheck this website out. It has a lot in it, but it is useful. \n\nSip at gingerale or 7 up. Crackers( worked when I was pregnant) warm coca cola. dry toast \n\nAgain these are just friendly suggestions. They may or may not work for you. \n\nGet better soon. :)

Hiccups are caused by spasm in the diaphragm, a muscle that lies under your lungs, basically it's a 'nervous twitch' in the diaphragm. If you can force the diaphragm to contract through one or two spasms it will 'reset' itself and the twitch will vanish.\n\nWhen you hold your breath you contract the diaphragm, and when you drink you hold your breath. So by taking along drink you are forcing yourself to hold your breath and  hopefully removing the twitch.\n\n\nA better cure is simply to hold your nose and close your mouth while 'breathing' out slightly for 30 seconds. Like you do to reset popped ears, but keep it up for at least 30 seconds.\n\nSame principle but it works far better than drinking water.
