I’m both hungry and also have hiccups. Anyone have any ideas?
My go-to for hiccups is to empty then fill my lungs past where they’re comfortable and hold as long as possible. It’s not comfortable, but has been the best remedy. Peanut butter sounds like it would be good since it’s slow to swallow
It’s my suspicion that all other remedies are really just ways to get you to hold your breath.
Sit up straight. Breath in as much as you can. Then a little bit more. Hold as long as you can. Let it out slowly.
Works every time for me.
Boo!
My hiccup remedy is to take a moderately deep breath, then say, out loud, “Now” right before you hiccup again.
Usually, the control and attention keep it from happening again. I’ve had many people do this and just go, “oh, I guess they went away…” 👀
How to kill hiccups in three easy steps - guaranteed to work every single time:
- Fill a pint (or any big glass) with water
- Exhale all air out
- Finish that pint in a single continuous gulp without pausing
One spoon of pickle juice. Do not eat a pickle.
Don’t have pickles at home right now, but reading the other comments suggesting a spoonful or so of vinegar might help, we do have vinegar at least.
Rollaids
Sadly I don’t have any right now, but I’ve already tried Pepto Bismol and also gas relief pills, like the closest things we have around right now. No dice, still hiccups… ☹️
Honestly I feel like if I could just have one good long fart that the hiccups might pass LOL!
A swallow of lemon juice will fix you right up.
Do a shot of vinegar. Works every time.
Tried that, didn’t work ☹️
you’re doomed, then.
It’s been over 24 hours now, only with very brief breaks in the hiccups, but yeah I actually feel like I’m doomed for now ☹️
Not to scare you, but if they last more than a couple days you should reach out to a doctor. I have a family member who had this happen, had horrid hiccups for 4 days straight and it tore open a part that required surgery. It’s been so long now I can’t remember exactly how it happened since I was fairly young at the time, but do take care of yourself <3 hope they clear up soon
Yay, I think the hiccups have finally passed!
I think… 🤞
Huzzah!!
It’s very rare that this happens to me. I do think it’s associated with a mild chest cold I just went through over the past few days or so. The cold itself has basically already passed, but I think that’s what left me with lingering hiccups.
At least the hiccups aren’t severe, like I don’t think I’m gonna end up with a hernia or anything like that, but yeah it’s annoying as hell and making it rather difficult to sleep ☹️
I’m pretty sure it’ll pass within a day or so, hopefully 🤞
Vinegar has always helped me. Malt vinegar, or Apple cider vinegar.
Trader Joes has a really yummy lemon ginger acv drink that’s one of my go to’s
What works for me is looking into a light and continuously swallowing my saliva as often as possible
Every time I have hiccups I stop it immediately by changing the rhythm of my breathing and making sure I breath using my diaphragm.
Hold your breath until you pass out
Fill your lungs and then do multiple(7ish) dry swallows in a row. It works extremely well.
hiccaway straw works great
I looked into this for my son, who gets really bad hiccups. We have lots of regular straws, so before I bought a special one, I had him try a regular straw that was pointing straight down at the bottom of the cup so that it was letting in as little water as possible. Totally works (most of the time).
