Question

What causes hiccups and what's the best way to stop them?

Answer 1

I severely gasp (pretending to become scared) and it goes away

Answer 2

I read that what causes hiccups is that you're not breathing deep enough and your diaphragm is contracting for air. The best way to stop them (it sounds complicated, but it works every time) Hold your breath, then take a mouth full of water, turn your head upside down and swallow the water in little sips, as many sips as you can make the water last. You might have to repeat this, but it will work.

Answer 3

Stand up on your head.

Answer 4

I don't know what causes them but i used to work in this bar and made alot of bets and win the bets... What you do is get a glass of what and bend over and use the opposite side to drink out of and keep going down until the glass is almost finished and your hiccups will be gone.

Answer 5

Hiccups are caused by spasms in your diaphragm, which controls your lungs.  Holding your breath seems to be the best solution to this problem because it increases pressure against the diaphragm, hopefully controlling it within a minute.

Answer 6

this thing in your throat gets off track.. sorry i forget what its called. But what i do to get stop them is continually take deep breaths and hold them until i must  breath , then repeat. I do that like 5 times and then im fine

Answer 7

eating to fast

make somebody scare you . drink lots of water

Answer 8

It is when your breathing is off sync or somthing like that. you are out of rythm. I always drink from the oposite side of a glass of water. Hold the water in front of you, and the side of the glass farthest away from you, tip your head forward and drink out of that side, do that a few times and they should stop.
