My solution for curing hiccups (had them earlier this morning) is to eat/suck on a lime or lemon wedge. And make sure you make a, damn that's really sour face as well.
It's amazing how well that works for me.
I used to get the hiccups all the time. I mean all the time. Not only that, but they were never ending. I tried all the things you’re supposed to try to get your hiccups to stop and nothing ever worked. Nothing. Ever.
Eventually the problem was solved by the great Bill Nye the Science Guy. He had a video… somewhere… that I watched that said to get your hiccups to stop you have to get your brain to stop waffling between the am-I-breathing and am-I-swallowing states and force it to do one or the other. He said to take a drink, but instead of drinking normally, take five small gulps in quick succession. Gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp-gulp.
I tried it. Lo and Behold, it worked.
Oh the gloriousness, it worked.
Then I had the Gastric Bypass Surgery. Fast forward a little over two years and I was talking about something with my wife and it occurred to me that I had not had the hiccups once since the surgery. Not once. That was lucky, as Bill Nye the Science Guy’s cure would have been tough for me because I couldn’t drink fast anymore. I had to pause between sips, and the sips had to be small. As time continues to pass, that is less and less of an issue. I can’t gulp drinks like I used to, but it is not as difficult as it was in the early post-surgery days.
Which is lucky, because tonight after dinner… for the first time in two years and almost six months…
I had the hiccups.
Bill Nye’s trick still works, thank goodness.
First opportunity for me to try the #hiccups cure and it worked (n=1)
Apologies: I can’t recall the source.
- First, exhale completely,
- Then inhale a deep breath.
- Wait 10 seconds
- Without exhaling, inhale a little more.
- Wait another five seconds, then top up the breath again.
- Finally, exhale.

Beaverton: Medical Experts admit there is no cure for hiccups https://www.thebeaverton.com/2023/02/medical-experts-admit-there-is-no-cure-for-hiccups/ #satire #canada #commentary #WorldHealthOrganization #Medicine #hiccups #Health
According to The #Atlantic, this will very likely get rid of your #hiccups (#singultus).
" .... boils down to a simple breathing exercise. First, exhale completely, then inhale a deep breath. Wait 10 seconds, then—without exhaling—inhale a little more. Wait another five seconds, then top up the breath again. Finally, exhale. Generally, you will find that your singultus is gone."
