Daylin Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 SS, glad your hiccups went away! This reminds me of what my Grandma used to do when I was a little girl, and had the hiccups. She would light a match, blow it out, and stick it under my nose To this day, I have to use a lighter every time I need to light something...I'm talking about candles I can't stand the smell of sulphur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush! Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 QUOTE (Jack Aubrey @ Aug 16 2006, 07:12 AM) Hiccups happen when the vagal nerve (which runs through the diaphragm) becomes over-stimulated. The next time you get the hiccups, take several (around 5) deep, deep breaths, each one deeper than the last. On the final breath, fill your lungs to maximum capacity and hold it for about 30 seconds. This puts pressure on the diaphragm and 'resets' the vagal nerve. That's interesting. I usually just take small sips of water or just try not to think about it. I'll do that next time. Thanks for those. You're busy with those facts Jack!

CeeJ Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I know this post is like 4 1/2 months late and you are ok now but for future reference... A bartender friend of mine had the cure... Take a pen and put it in your mouth and drink down a glass of water. It works everytime!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
