Hiccups? 

Well for the past hour, Ive hiccuped countless times, and i thought you AMPers might have any insight on how to get rid of these awful hiccups. Ive already tried drinking water, drinking a lot of Sprite, and getting scared, anyone have any ideas? Im going crazy here

RE: Hiccups? 

play this and put the volume real loud.

to make the game easier just hold down the left mouse button and drag the dot to the red square then let go wen u reach it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccup

Be prepared though, you could be in it for the long run...
QUOTE
American man Charles Osborne had the hiccups for 68 years, from 1922 to 1990, and was entered in the Guinness World Records as the man with the Longest Attack of Hiccups.

In January 2007, a teenager from Florida in the United States hiccuped for five weeks, from January 23, 2007 until February 28, 2007.[3]


Also, be sure to read under home remedies, and possibly medical treatment....

RE: Hiccups? 

hmm. i tried this once and it works. hurts like hell though. Inhale ground up peppers, garlic, sugar, etc. etc. i tried curry powder. Stopped the hiccups because it was replaced with tearing eyes and large coughing fits.

RE: Hiccups? 

all u gotta do is get distracted and think about something else deeply, just NOT about ur hiccups...
when i used to be small and whenver i had hiccups my parents just asked me what i had for lunch 3 days ago, which made me think...
but NOW i finally founmd out that hiccups don't go away if you find out what you ate 3 days ago...but that u get distracted and think of something else :D

RE: Hiccups? 

My usual trick is to pinch my nose and swallow three times. But I think the real cure to hiccups is believing that whatever you do will get rid of them ^_^



Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons...for you are crunchy, and good with ketchup.

Thanks to Mike for the siggie =)

RE: Hiccups? 

Heh, i have the most yummy way to get rid when i got it, a small spoon of sugar, just take it in and swallow.
Stops the hiccup for me at once, i dont know about others, but i tried it countless times, including once when i had hiccups over an hour, after a spoon of that it just stops, so for me it works ;) (and also makes me know its not just yummy, also useful)

Good Luck :P

RE: Hiccups? 

heres what you do, chop off your arm...
yes its that simple see you totally forget about your hiccups they go away and well the only down side is your one less arm. But if you chose your less dominate arm then its okay.
XD

Your wrong, I cut off my left arm and it I still got the hiccups! :P just kidding. They just magically went away when I scared myself half to death when I accidentally blasted my music at full ;)

Thanks for suggestions though

Yeah there's no "cure" for hiccups. There's so many things people tell you to do but it's all what you think will do the trick(which is usually what u learn when ur little).




quit gw for good. end of story.

RE: Hiccups? 

This is actually a bit of a combo of what a few people have said, but works all the time for me,

  • 1. ) Hold your breath.
  • 2. ) Get a glass of water, and drink it.

If it doesnt work, try remembering the first game you ever played, or the first food you ate. or count to 1000 ;) or.. go into AB, and magically see like 16 touch rangers coming right at you XD

RE: Hiccups? 

QUOTE
One possible beneficial effect of hiccups is to dislodge foreign pieces of food, which have become stuck in the oesophagus, or which are traveling too slowly. When a piece of food is swallowed that is too large for the natural peristalsis of the esophagus to move the food quickly into the stomach, it applies pressure on the phrenic nerve, invoking the hiccup reflex.


In other words, all the cures going around, are all focused on eating or stimulating you to move (like being scared you jump up), such things usually work cause then whatever's causing mayhem inside your body on its way to your stomach, is taken care off. ;)

RE: Hiccups? 

A new one then, after reading the above post, ask a random stranger to perform the Heimlich Maneuver on you! ^^;; I reccomend this if your not in the ghetto, lol, as you might get a knife in the gut instead, which might get rid of the hiccps ;P

RE: Hiccups? 

Dunno what is that lol, but i did know that my martial arts teacher had a nasty, yet relaxing trick.

He picked you up and applied pressure on your back, apparantly this would put all your spine bones back in their correct position.

No idea if that was true, but it did feel (when he did it) awfull, but afterwards you felt really relaxed and comfortable for the coming days, nice trick indeed, sadly can't apply it on yourself lol

RE: Hiccups? 

The ONLY cure for the hiccups that works for me is you get a glass of water and you cover the top with a paper towel. Then drink the water through the paper towel. Someone told me about this and it has worked every time for me.

whaha you got screwed over by a friend

anyways what i always do is just hold your tumb up and look at the middle of you thumb (middle of your fingerprint...) and then count the lines till you get to the end of your thumb and it should be over. (it's all about being distracted)

breath in as much as you can
hold your breath as long as you can
breath out as slowly as possible

(was a question on my biology exam two years ago ^^)
