Does plugging your nose while drinking a cup of water really work?

Have someone scare you? Boo! Wink

Yo, did you see my question to you about Bundang?

this works for me 98% of the time. it's hard to explain, but here goes...

drink some water (from a cup, bottle, faucet, doesn't matter)

keep the water supply constantly against your mouth.

suck in a LITTLE bit of water -- just enough to help you swallow.

as you do this, breathe IN thru your nose.

STOP breathing and sucking!!!

swallow!

suck in a LITTLE bit more water while breathing OUT thru your nose.

STOP everything and SWALLOW!

CONTINUE!

keep breathing and sucking at the same time.

stop everything before each time you swallow.

THAT'S IT!!!

and do it at a medium-slow pace!!! Laughing

Seriously! And it has to be rhythmic!

...awaiting sucking and swallowing jokes...

Surprise yourself by sticking your finger up your bum.

The shock will stop it.

Take a really deep breath, hold it. While holding it, pinch both nostrils closed, as well as your mouth. Count to 30 using Mississippi - one mississippi, two mississippi...

It never fails. NEVER. Make sure to seal your mouth and nose well. I am an elementary school teacher and this always works on the kids, I've done it at least two dozen times with them; in addition, I have been using this method for over 20 years - its guaranteed. If it doesn't work, its the hiccupers fault for not doing it right.

Take a cup of water, about 1/2 to 2/3s full. Place your lips on the opposite side of the rim (almost like your chin is in the cup). Bend forward and drink the cup. Works every time.

I get the hiccups a lot. The best thing is to concentrate REALLY hard on something else. Do a really difficult puzzle, try to remember the words to a song from when you were a kid. focusing on having the hiccups will only make it worse.

Once I had the hiccups for a really long time. A friend of mine told me "ok, look right into my eyes and repeat after me. blah blah blah....... BANG he slapped me in the face. I was VERY shocked. I was like WTF????? my hiccups were gone.

Drink a dessert spoon full of vinegar, works a treat for me.

The Ben Franklin cure:

If you sneeze your hiccups will stop.

Use snuff, or try closing your eyes and then open them in the direction of a very bright light source.
