I'm drinking water, but it isn't helping and I'm holding me breathe, that's not working either.

Help! :argh:

[RevolutionaryActs]

7. drink upside-down

Ok, here is a foolproof way that always works for everyone:

fill a glass with water, bend over so that your head is inverted (touch your toes while standing) and drink from the glass upside down. This may be tricky, you place your upper lip on the far side of the glass and drink, this causes your upper back palate to get wet and triggers the brain to stop sending the spasms in the throat.

I've never seen it fail, my Ear-nose and throat doctor showed me that trick when I was young.

13. Cool, I've heard of doing that before, but never knew it worked

Thanks! :thumbsup:

9. Out out damn hiccups recipe

Warning: do not operate heavy machinery while attempting this cure.
:)

Plug your ears with your thumbs (by pushing your tragus over your ear canal)while plugging your nose with your middle fingers (by pushing against the nares)while holding a large cup of water with your ring fingers and pinkies. Drink the water without taking any breaths until you're completely out of air.

If the hiccups come back, repeat.

This looks and feels ridiculous, but it's always worked for me on the first or second try.

14. hehe

10. From a friend who worked for doctor...

Take a Q-Tip and touch your uvula (sp?) at the back of your mouth. You know that little piece of skin in the back of your mouth.

Problem solved.

15. Wouldn't that cause a gag reflex?

:o

:puke:

12. LOCKING

This thread is being locked by the Homeland Security Department for violating Section 3, Part II, Article A of the Patriot Act..."admitting weakness in a capacity that would allow the enemy access to the USA or her allies"

Did that work? Usually if someone scares me, the hiccups will go away.

16. LOL! Good one!

That's damn near as scary as the thought of seeing ol' Shrubs picture like the person in the first post said. :crazy:

17. Hold your nose while drinking the water!

18. A teaspoon of sugar

I prefer mine moistened with water, but there was someone here who suggested just gulping it down dry.

Try one, and if it doesn't work, try the other...
