Thirteen Ways to Get Rid of Hiccups

  1. Eat (something): peanut butter, honey, a piece of bread, etc.
  2. Have someone scare you. This would not work well in my case. I don’t get scared; I get pissed. And I don’t jump, I punch.
  3. Swallow repeatedly.
  4. Take the biggest breath you can, then inhale just a bit more; hold it as long as you can then slowly exhale as much as you can and yes, exhale just a bit more. I’ve tried this and it kinda hurt.  I think I stretched out my lungs. Yikes.
  5. Stand on your head and drink a glass of water.
  6. Make yourself burp.
  7. Drink water out of a straw while plugging your ears.
  8. Light a match and put it out in a shot glass of water. Drink it. Sounds gross but I’ve seen this work.
  9. Breathe into a paper bag repeatedly.
  10. Hold your breath and do stretches.
  11. Divert your mind and really concentrate on something else. Take your pulse was suggested.
  12.  Use Reflexology: There is said to be a pressure point in the crevice between your nose and your upper lip. Press for 30 seconds. Oooh, I want to try this one next time!
  13. Wait them out. Sometimes, this is all you can do.
