stand on your head, count to 10 holding your breath while sucking and blowing into a brown paper bag whistling dixie.

 

And if that doesn't work.........well don't blame me coz I'm not a doctor :D

Go to your local doctor.

A common condition which involves short, involuntary intakes of breath.

 

What to look for

 

repeated, involuntary short intakes of breath.

 

Hiccups (involuntary spasms of the diaphragm) are usually a minor annoyance and last only for a short time. They can affect anyone, and most pregnant women will tell you that they have even felt their unborn child hiccup in the womb.

 

Causes

 

It is caused by an irritation of the nerves of the diaphragm usually because they have been irritated by indigestion, carbonated drinks or eating too quickly, not chewing the food and swallowing properly.

 

Traditional Treatment

 

Most cases of hiccups will usually only last for a very short time. However there are numerous remedies for this condition.

 

Convention medicine is not needed terribly often, but if a case of hiccups fails to stop after a day, a visit to your Doctor may be a good idea to rule out disease-related causes.

 

Alternative/Natural Treatments

 

Herbal Therapies - To stop the hiccups, herbalists recommend warm chamomile (Matricaria recutita) tea, which is said to act as an antispasmodic agent. Another remedy that may bring relief is a tea combining 1/2 tsp of tinctures of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and boneset (Eupatorium perfoliatum) with a few drops of cayenne (Capsicum frutescens) and the juice of a quarter lemon in 1 cup hot water.

Homoeopathy - Spasming of the diaphragm may be eased by Ignatia, Cuprum metallicum, or Nux vomica. You will need professional help to ensure that you get the right medication in the right doses.

Personal Care

 

Most doctors believe that high blood levels of carbon dioxide inhibit hiccups, while low levels will aggravate them. Here are some other remidies that may or may not work for you.

 

Place a brown paper bag over your mouth and breathe in and out for a minute or two. You will be breathing in your own carbon dioxide which should help your hiccups. Be sure NEVER to use a plastic bag.

 

Hold your breath and swallow at the same time you feel the urge to hiccup.

 

If your child has the hiccups, tickle him gently while instructing him to hold his breath and not to laugh.

 

Hold your breath and count to ten.

 

Drink a teaspoon of raspberry cordial with no water.

When to seek further professional advice

 

your hiccups persist for more than a day;

 

hiccups and fever occur after major surgery in the upper abdomen

Here is one that works for me, all the time.

 

Get a cup of water, take a mouthful, swallow one lot, then put another cup full in your mouth, bend over as if your touching your toes, and swallow it slowly over about 10 seconds, wilst bending over !

 

Its always worked for me :P

My previous job was Night Manager at a pub in the city so I have the necessary expertise to answer this one!

 

As someone else said, shot of raspberry cordial sometimes does the trick.

 

The method I swear by (similiar to what Teddy mentioned) is to pour a full pot of tap water, bend over forward as if you are touching your toes, and drink the whole pot of water from the OUTER most edge of the glass. Obviously, when normally drinking a glass of water, you tip the glass up towards you, do the opposite and tip the glass AWAY from you.

 

They refer to this method here, look for 'Drinking Water Method 6': http://www.wikihow.com/Cure-Hiccups#Bartender.27s_Remedy

 

Good luck with it. Hiccups suck, esp. when you are out on the town, as they take away from quality drinking time!

lie on you back ... take a deep breath.... hold it in.... stitup while still holding your breath... hold your breath for another 30 secs or as long as you can.. and slowly let it out.

I just punch myself real hard in the chest. Gets rid of it in a second. I guess its not good for your heart but it works, leaves a red mark too.
