I've got the most awful hiccups! Tried every remedy I know PLEASE help me?

Answer:
Lay down, relax for a couple of minutes and breathe calmly. That will bring your breathing rhythm back to normal, and stop the muscle spasms of the diaphragm which will make the hiccups go away.

try this:Applyn pressue to your forehead by putting a finger on your forehead. Approx 1 in or so up over your nose - so your finger is right in the middle of your forehead.
Hold for about 30 sec. Do this until the hiccups dissapear.
If this doesn't work, try rubbing the spot with your finger.

I saw this once on "UNTOLD STORIES OF THE ER" It has to be my absoulte favorite show. But this woman came in with the hiccups and had put up with them for almost 2 weeks. this was the only thing that helped her.

Drink out of the opposite side of a glass than your normally would. If they last for more than an hour go to the ER, it could be serious.

Try drinking some water with your head down (like drinking from a water fountain). Keep your head down while swallowing. Drink slowly. Hopefully that will work. It has worked several times for me.

Do what they call a mathimatical lolipop 13 x 13 them sub tract 13 till you get to zero or try really hard to remember something you have to think really hard on works great don't know why.

Try getting a cup of soda (Pepsi or whatever...not diet). Go to a room where there isn't carpet (kitchen or bathroom) in case you spill some. Bend over so your head is hanging down, and try to drink some of the pop that way. You'll essentially be pouring a bit into the roof of your mouth. It's not EASY to do it, but it does work!

If you'd rather not do that, try drinking a WHOLE glass of pop without stopping. Just gulp and gulp (at least 10 gulps in a row). That seems to do the trick too. Good luck!

A spoonful of peanut butter, bitters on a lemon, drink through a handkerchief, vinegar, dill pickle juice, or two green olives? Also sugar and hold your breath.
Try peoplespharmacy.com for the rest of the odd suggestions.
It seems as if all the ideas involve doing something where you are temporally not breathing.

simple and easy=
eat yourself some regular sugar....just put some sugar on a tablespoon and down it goes....sounds weird but that is how I always get rid of mine....

GUARANTEED TO WORK!!! -or at least it works 100% of the time for me,

Get a small glass of water - stand with your legs apart, bend over as far as you can with your head down low - and take as big a drink as you can.

Your hiccups should be gone. All it takes is one time for me. If for some chance you still have the hiccups, do it again, only this time take a long drink.
