If you've had them since two pm, there's a chance you might have them forever. A life of hiccuping for you.

Hold your breath, hang upside down, drink a litre of water and scare yourself somehow. Sorted

I got the worst case of the hiccups last year and actually coughed/vomited blood for four days straight, pints of it. Turns out I tore my oesophagus and they would not stop because of this Natural yoghurt (with freshly squeezed lemon juice) was all I could eat and didn't sleep for almost a week

Can't say I've heard that one before.

Place an *ice-cube on your temple. Works a treat.

I have actually read somewhere that having someone stick their finger up your ass will cure hickups. I know this may sound like a load of rubish but I did read it.

Actually here you go!

All one needs to do is to ask their doctor to do a DRM (i.e. usually done by proctologists or urologists for colorectal and prostate exams). This highly unusual singultus instant cure method was accidently discovered in 1987* by an emergency room and cardiology Dr. Francis M. Fesmire of the Erlanger Medical Center Chattanooga, TN (USA). He calls it Stimulation of the Vagus Nerve. There are a number of ways to stimulate this nerve. However, DRM seems to be more effective then other upper-body methods and much more socially acceptable for a single teenager than another more controversial Vagal lower-body method Dr. Fesmire also recommends but won't be published here for obvious reasons. Dr. Fesmire's 1988 paper is called "Termination of intractable hiccups by digital rectal massage". It actually works and he won a Nobel Prize (of sorts) for it! If you don't want to do a self-DRM then you can get a Vagus Nerve stimulator surgically implanted in your upper-chest! That gadget was invented in 1997 by Dr. Bryan P. Payne of LSU in New Orleans LA. But I think a self-DRM is a lot easier and cheaper to your wallet! I can think of a number of other medically necessary reasons why people would plausibly do a self-DRM on themselves - no shame in that if it works... right?

bob the bob

I once told my wife "I'll give you £100,if you can hiccup 10 more times"

She couldn't manage more than 3 more.

Sadly doesn't usually work the second time you try it on the same person, as they will know it's a technique to fool your brain.

ilovesleep

I get hiccups from time to time and get them so bad to the degree that I vomit.

I have a hiccup cure that actually works.

You will need
1) a slice of lemon
2) brown sugar

pour the brown sugar over the half slice of lemon. Now suck on it - suck on the lemon and the brown sugar together.

This works every time. If anybody gets the hiccups today - try it and get back to me and tell me how you get on.

electrobanana

drink a big glass of milk works for me everytime

Orando Broom

Exhale fully, empty your lungs entirely and hold your breath. You get a few spasms but try that once or twice and it will do the trick.

W.Shakes-Beer

Haven't actually had hiccups in years. Holding breath used to work though.

Failing that; a good kick up the arse will suffice.

Swallow a teaspoon of vinegar.
