Q: What causes hiccups and how can I get rid of them?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: Hiccups are gulping sounds caused by involuntary spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the chest and abdomen and helps with breathing. Hiccups can be triggered if you eat too much or too fast, consume very hot or cold foods and beverages, or drink carbonated beverages. Other causes include cold showers, entering or leaving a hot or cold room, sudden excitement, and stress.


I drank way too much pop today. I had a dr pepper for breakfast, then I got hungry and had a headache, so I got a can of pepsi and a bag of doritos at the store. After that I hiccupped like mad. After it finally went away, I went to lunch and had another dr pepper... Shortly there after, they came back and stayed for an hour.

Just finished another can of DP with my dinner and now I'm hiccuping again. damnit.


Note to self: Don't drink two cans of pop before lunch.

i only have one way of getting rid of hiccups that works for me. i think about it and then it goes away. stupid but effective. :jig

I hardly ever get hiccups *looks for wood to knock on* but my husband does. The remedy he swears by is a couple drops of bitters on a lime, then suck the lime....

I drink water all night. In fact... some nights I'll continually wake up and refill the cup beside my bed 3 or 4 times.

But in reality, if I haven't had at least 1 pop a day, you would not want to deal with me. I get pretty pissed off when I get migraines.

This is weird but try burping and yawning at the same time. It tweaks your diaphragm and it should stop the hiccups

 

[TheOriginalJames]

I wish I could burp on command. Last time I tried that I accidently threw up a little in my mouth. lol

I was sitting down yesterday and they came back for a short time. haha

Havent' had them at all on saturday or today though.

 

[Sim]

hahaha You barfed in yourself.

You can exhale now.
