How do you get rid of them? Do you have a special trick to getting rid of them fast. I personally drink from the wrong side of the glass. People look at me like I'm crazy when I do it or tell about it, but basically To drink from the wrong side of the glass, put water in a glass (not too full) and hold it under your chin so that you can put your lips on the opposite side of the glass rim from usual and slowly bend forward letting the water go into your mouth and sip several swallows, repeat until the hiccups are gone.

When I need to get rid of them and don't have water I hold my breath.

I drink a glass of water and they go away instantly...if I don't have water then I'll just keep holding my breath until they leave. Since I was little, I've always thought of hiccups as evil little beings climbing up my throat...and water washes them back down.

Water,always works.

everytime I feel one coming on, I inhale and hole my breathe until the hiccup happens or subsides. This process is repeated until they are gone from my body

I drink from the wrong side of the glass. People look at me weirdly when I tell them about it, too! But it works every time.

I don`t get rid of them. I find hiccups most enjoyable.

Hold my breath or drink water, or both. Hiccups are caused by having to much oxygen in the lungs, so just minimize that amount

Haha! Hiccups actually scare the tar out of me.

It might sound wierd, but I punch myself in the gut. It works.

I don't get the hiccups enough. Q.Q

So I dun do anything about 'em when I get them.

If you get the hiccups, here is the thing to do.
Get a glass of water.
put your hands above your head and hold them together while another person feeds you the water.
It works I swear.
My mom did it for me quite a few times.

I take small sips of water constantly until they're gone. It's the exact same thing that happens when you drink from the wrong side of the glass, only you don't have to be upside down

I saw on tv once (some doctor show) that there is a pressure point on your neck that if you press will stop hiccups. I tried it on my sister next time she had hiccups and they stopped! So now that is what I do when I get hiccups.

I hold my breath and if that doesnt work, I'll drink water.

I hold my breath. Andrew hiccups all the time.

I hold my breath and swallow.

or I tell myself im going to hiccup and make bets with myself so my body doesnt hiccup. Seems to work.

Water and hold my breath. Try this one: Hold your breath and swallow 3 times... that one works for me. But sometimes I do water and just simply hold my breath.

I rarely get hiccups anymore, but when I do I drink something.

I like doing that

I hold my breath and gulp down a glass of water.

I think most people do that?

I get someone to press my ears down and then I drink from a glass of water in one go, you cant pause to breathe or anything. Its odd but it REALLY REALLY works. x

A spoonful of jelly works. I kid you not. (Tastes yummy too. )

Also,since hiccups are your muscles lacking air(or so I've heard) I take deep breaths until they go away.

Personally, I concentrate really hard to become one with the hiccup.

You kid me yes!



So you practice Yoga 'ey....
