What Causes the Hiccups?\nHiccups are usually a reaction to your stomach and digestive system getting wonky. This happens when you eat too much, drink bubbly drinks like soda or swallow too much air. Some people get the hiccups for no reason at all. Other things that cause hiccups include skull fracture, epilepsy, tuberculosis and believe it or not, constipation (not being able to poop). \n\nCommon Cures for the Hiccups\nUnlike sneezing, farting, burping, etc., hiccups don't serve any purpose. Hiccups are just annoying and pointless. How do you get rid of hiccups? Which remedy works best? Home remedies are usually based on the idea that you have to disrupt the hiccup cycle. Remedies include holding your breath, breathing into a bag, pulling your tongue, sudden fright, or - get this - eating sugar. Just drinking water, if done soon enough, might wash down a chunk of food in the throat that's pressing against a nerve.

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.

The best remedy for hiccups that I have ever experienced is the following maneuver: Take a glass of water. Sit down. Spread your knees out and bend forward with your head between your knees (or come down as far as you are able to). With the front of your body bent forward as much as you can, take the glass of water, raise your head up (while keeping your body bent forward) and drink the glass of water. It looks strange, but it works, every time I've ever tried it. If you have malignant hiccups....those lasting for days at a time, then go to your doctor and ask for some Thorazine. It is an anti-psychotic medication, but it works for those nasty hiccups that refuse to go away. As a nurse, I have seen Thorazine work for the most resistant hiccups.

As you state, there is no cure for migraines currently. Migraine is an inherited disease of the brain that has to do with a neurotransmitter called serotonin. At least 70% of migraine sufferers have a family member with migraine. Although medication is the mainstay of treatment, there are many methods of reducing the number of headaches you experience. Some simple ones include limiting your caffeine intake to one cup per day or eliminating it all together. If you do drink caffeine then you should not miss a day due to the potential of withdrawal headache. Regular exercise can prevent headaches. Get regular sleep. Wake up at the same time everyday, even on weekends. Too little or too much sleep is a common headache trigger. Go to the National Headache Foundation website for a list of food triggers. Identifying triggers will require completing a headache diary for several weeks to several months. There are vitamins, which have been proven to reduce headaches. Magnesium 400mg and riboflavin (Vitamin B2) 400mg have both been shown to reduce headaches. It may take up to 3 months to see the full effect. The only downside is the number of pills and the cost. To alleviate this problem for my patients, I worked with a vitamin manufacturer to develop a multivitamin with the above doses of vitamins plus all the vitamins in a regular daily multivitamin. Due to interest outside my practice we have made it available over the internet.\nWe also recommend a trial of physical therapy, which has been very effective. Behavioral therapy is also important since the number one trigger of migraine is stress.\nDon't give up. Remember migraine is a disease just like diabetes is. Diabetic don't make enough insulin, you don't make enough serotonin.\n\nGary A.

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

Excedrin is a great over the counter medicine as it combines aspirin, acetaminophin, and caffeine.  You can also duplicate this at home...try having a cup of coffee (or a diet soda with caffeine) with tylenol or advil and see if that helps.  Also, if you're suddenly having migraines, you should go to the doc to see if there might be something more serious going on.  The doc can also prescribe migraine medications that can help, although they can be expensive.\n\nAnother thing that used to work for me was Sinutabs.  My migraines were sometimes sparked by swollen sinuses and that sometimes helped.  Try alternating hot and cold on your forehead and back of your neck.  \n\nEveryone who get migraines is unique.  You need to find your own best method.  Hopefully this gives you a couple of ideas to try.\n\nGood luck!\n\nMany Blessings,\nLilyth

try rice flour, rice milk and other rice products.  I don't have a website for you but I know that Food.com has recipes for everything - good luck, for the headaches, just stay away from everything that bothers you long enough to detoxify your body - also avoid caffeine and tobacco - that will help a lot - also, avoid Aspartame (Nutrasweet) many people are allergic to that - I use a natural sweetener called stevia and it is great!

Hiccups are caused by a spasm of the diaphram. To cure it, you need to "reset" the natural rhythm. The way to do this is :-\n\n(1) Pour a TALL glass of water.\n\n(2) Hold your breath...\n\n(3) IMPORTANT...PINCH YOUR NOSE CLOSED.\n\n(4) Slowly, take 10 - 20 swallows of the water...while holding your breath with your nose pinched closed.\n\n(5) When you can't stand it any more....you'll know by that overwhelming drowning sensation -- after a gasp, take a deep breath and relax.

beside massaging the scalp, neck, forehead and a bath ..\nI suggest:\n\nAvoid bright light.\n\nAvoid loud noises.\n\nDrink plenty of water.\n\nTry Excedrin Migraine formula (which is just a combination of aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine, but it works better for me than any of the heavy-duty prescription drugs I've tried in the past).\n\nIf sleeping isn't an option due to the pain, go for even more caffeine. I recommend hot coffee or espresso, no sugar.\n\nRed Bull either makes everything somewhat better or much, much worse. Some people swear by it, though.\n\nA doctor once recommended filling the kitchen sink with hot water and then submerging my arms up to elbows for as long as I could stand it. This is only effective for me before the headache gets bad, but when it works, it works like magic. I don't know why.\n\nBaths seem to help, although showers are effective, too.\n\nMassaging the points mentioned is good - but it works much better if you can get someone else to do it so you can relax your neck muscles more.\n\nDo NOT watch the movie Pi\nMy grandma swears by this stuff called BC. You can find it at Publix - its usually on the bottom shelf under all the asprins, etc. Its a plain looking white box with blue trim.. It just says BC on the box then Fast Pain Relief.\n\nMy cousins wife get serious migranes and last time she was in Florida - she didn't have her medication. she got a real bad migrane and my grandma gave her this stuff - and it worked. Its old skool.. this stuff was created in 1906.\n\nIts powder form so you can mix it with anything.. its tasteless.\n\nIf grandma says it works, then it works.\n\nHere's their website so you can see what the box looks like. I think its real cheap too like $3 or $4 bucks:\ni hope i solved your problem especially with the last one
