Hicupps

Is there anything I can do to stop these or not?

    It seems everybody has their own home remedy to rid of them. I find ignoring them helps :p

    That's what I tend to do and usually get laughed at because I can't stop...

    I feel your pain. I get hiccups alot. And they always hurt too. And they go on for 10 minutes or so, couple times a minute. After the first couple they hurt so much I involuntarly go "oh" in a whiny voice after I hiccup.

    deep breaths maybe? get someone to give you a fright? although to be honest im not really sure any of the things that are said to work really do...

    sip water slowly, a fright and holding your breath (not for to long!!) all work for me.

    These ones seem to work for me too, but sometime they don't then i just have to grin and bear it. Sometime just not thinking about them also helps.

    Chronic hiccups? I used to get really bad hiccups, but now I'm down to about 5-15 a day. Relaxing and sometimes drinking some water seemed to work the best.
