I was just going to post "BOO" but this is much better. Would have worked for mine if I had them.

Ok I didn't have the hiccups but now I'm gonna have nightmares. Lol. Clowns are scary. *shudder*

The fastest a bad case of hiccups ever went away for me was a few years ago... I could NOT get rid of them and it was driving me nuts. Was sitting around chatting with my best friend who proceeded to start telling me that he heard I said something terrible about him and when I protested, he acted like he absolutely didn't believe me. So I got completely wrapped up in convincing him I would never say anything like that... A couple minutes later he handed me a little piece of paper. It said "So, are your hiccups gone?"
I 'bout choked him. I'll be darned it they weren't gone though. :P
Of course he almost got the hiccups from laughing afterward. Would have served him right. Lol.

Hi livinginchaos, Here's a cure, my mother, who is a Retired~Nurse, taught me to cure those
annoying Hic~c~c~cups. It sounds contradictory but it really works.

Solution:

H~hold y~y~yo~o~ur breath and simultaneously take 9 swallows of water.

Works every time! Hope it cures yours. Hon! :):cool::D

My mom used to make me drink water out of the wrong side of a glass. I don't know why getting water all over yourself cures hiccups but it tended to work. Lol

I have one that my dad swore by, but it is hard to describe.....

You need a glass of water, and a straw.

Take the straw and lay it ACROSS the TOP of the glass. Not at the center, but closer to the edge. There should be a gap between the edge of the glass and the straw.

Pick up the glass, holding the straw in place.

The trick is to drink AROUND the straw...imagine that, when you take a sip, the straw is horizontally in your mouth, sort of like a tango dancer holding a rose. :D Keep the straw in place and take decent sized swallows. Don't gulp! But don't drink slowly, either. Normal mouthfuls.

You will feel like there are BIG swallows of water going down...that is what it should feel like! It must do something to the muscles in the chest and diaphragm, because it works. Hiccups are caused by spasms in the diaphragm.

Good luck!

thanks all of you! I finally ended up falling asleep hiccupping and woke up and wasn't hiccupping.

Otherwise, I think that clown would have scared the bejeezuz out of me!!!!

Remember the movie "IT"??? I hated that movie.

I think most of the suggestions meant to cure hick-ups are just a way of ditracting you. But who cares so long as they work. :)

Hold your breath and swallow 3 times, learned it a few years back and has stuck with me :)
