Annalese Oct 8, I might have one suggestion; I just had a kind of bad case of hiccups, I tried holding my breath for about 3 or 4 minutes With subtle breaks , but it didn't work, so I tried plugging off my nose by squeezing it , and I instantly stopped having hiccups. Not sure if it will work for everyone, but either way, it seemed to have helped my bad bad hiccups :-P. That sounds annoying! We hope your hiccups are gone by now, BH!

True or False: Some Hiccup Remedies Actually Work Hiccups are an annoying reflex that occurs when the diaphragm the muscle wall between the chest and the abdomen spasms involuntarily. Whatever the reason, many people swear by at least one of the following methods, not of which are well supported by scientific evidence: Hiccup Prevention: Avoiding Digestive Disturbances Slow Down: The vagus nerve which controls hiccupping may be triggered by eating too fast and not carefully chewing your food, causing air to get caught between pieces of food.
Avoid Hot or Spicy Foods: These foods often irritate your stomach lining and sometimes cause acid to leak into the esophagus, both of which can cause hiccups. Also, big gulps of alcohol cause the esophagus to quickly expand, and also result in the swallowing of air. All of these factors can contribute to hiccups. Hiccup Cure: Distraction or Disruptive Techniques Letting a spoonful of sugar dissolve on your tongue, tickling the roof of your mouth with a Q-tip, or sticking your fingers in your ears all stimulate branches of the vagus nerve, and the overload on other vagus nerve endings may put a stop to hiccups.
Being startled may suddenly overwhelm the vagus nerve. Drinking water while maintaining uncomfortable body positions, such as bending over a sink and turning your head upside down while drinking from the tap, may distract your brain from the hiccups.
Briefly holding your breath, then swallowing the air a few times may disrupt the hiccup cycle. Sneezing may have a similar effect! Holding your breath for as long as you can, blowing up a balloon, or breathing into a paper bag increases the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream. While none of the following remedies have been scientifically proven to halt your hiccups, they are considered to be the most effective:.
Find what method works best for you, and stick to it. Although more research may be needed to determine a scientifically-backed cure for hiccups, you can help prevent them by eating small meals and avoiding carbonated beverages.
Eating or drinking too quickly can lead to hiccups, so try to avoid scarfing down a snack or seltzer or soda before a big meeting if you want to keep calm. In cases like these, your doctor can help you determine the cause and whether or not a specific medication can help alleviate your symptoms.
