Cure for hiccups please??? 😭

[Chloefairydust]

Been hiccuping for over an hour now, suppose it serves me right for drinking some lemonade too quickly… Was funny at first but now it’s becoming exhausting and I can’t fall asleep for it…

Help???

BOO 👻

Drink a glass of water through a straw while keeping your ears blocked. Works every time.

Drink water from the other side of the glass

Hold your breath

Yawning

Laughing

Burping

Jump up and down

Good luck op

Get a teaspoon of sugar and pour some vinegar over it until it’s soaked in vinegar and drink it off the spoon. Tastes weird but works!

Have you got any gaviscon?

It’s just randomly stopped 🥳

Im so relieved, I tried the drinking water with a straw, still had hiccups, then the yawning and jumping up and down… tried to distract myself by reading some random threads on mumsnet… And just when I was getting really desperate and working up the nerve to drink some vinegar 🤢… It just stopped on its own 😂 … Aww it feels so good to breathe normally again… Going to get some sleep now.

Thanks for all the interesting cures haha… anyone know of any other cures though feel free to share? Will be good to know for next time lol

It was me startling you that did it - just a delayed reaction!

Glad it’s stopped, haven’t had them in ages but they’re bloody annoying when they take hold.

Teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Never ever fails

What works for me is to slowly count from 20 backwards. Works everytime.

Hold your breath and swallow hard three times.

A spoonful of sugar, without sucking it.

It irritates the palate.

Drink a tint sip of vinegar and tip your head forward / upside down then swallow - instant cure and works every time :)

Hold your breath for as long as possible
