I’m both hungry and also have hiccups. Anyone have any ideas?
How to kill hiccups in three easy steps - guaranteed to work every single time:
- Fill a pint (or any big glass) with water
- Exhale all air out
- Finish that pint in a single continuous gulp without pausing
It isn’t food, but you can always try this. There is even formal research. You’re welcome.
LOL, I’ve heard of that before.
I’ll pass though, I took some Alka Seltzer earlier and so far so good. 👍🤞
My go-to for hiccups is to empty then fill my lungs past where they’re comfortable and hold as long as possible. It’s not comfortable, but has been the best remedy. Peanut butter sounds like it would be good since it’s slow to swallow
It’s my suspicion that all other remedies are really just ways to get you to hold your breath.
I have had luck with spoonfuls of peanut butter. At least it works for me.
Huh, this is the only one I’ve never heard of so far. Guess I’ll give it a go next time 🤷♂️
Same. No idea why it works, but it always does for me.
Came to post this. Peanut butter works like a charm
Sit up straight. Breath in as much as you can. Then a little bit more. Hold as long as you can. Let it out slowly.
Works every time for me.
This is the way.
Ten swallows of water without taking a breath, as fast as you can.
Gaslight yourself into believing hiccups aren’t real. Sounds crazy but it works. Just tell yourself they aren’t real and really believe it
Boo!
Every time I have hiccups I stop it immediately by changing the rhythm of my breathing and making sure I breath using my diaphragm.
One spoon of pickle juice. Do not eat a pickle.
Don’t have pickles at home right now, but reading the other comments suggesting a spoonful or so of vinegar might help, we do have vinegar at least.
Do a shot of vinegar. Works every time.
Tried that, didn’t work ☹️
you’re doomed, then.
It’s been over 24 hours now, only with very brief breaks in the hiccups, but yeah I actually feel like I’m doomed for now ☹️
Not to scare you, but if they last more than a couple days you should reach out to a doctor. I have a family member who had this happen, had horrid hiccups for 4 days straight and it tore open a part that required surgery. It’s been so long now I can’t remember exactly how it happened since I was fairly young at the time, but do take care of yourself <3 hope they clear up soon
Yay, I think the hiccups have finally passed!
I think… 🤞
Huzzah!!
It’s very rare that this happens to me. I do think it’s associated with a mild chest cold I just went through over the past few days or so. The cold itself has basically already passed, but I think that’s what left me with lingering hiccups.
At least the hiccups aren’t severe, like I don’t think I’m gonna end up with a hernia or anything like that, but yeah it’s annoying as hell and making it rather difficult to sleep ☹️
I’m pretty sure it’ll pass within a day or so, hopefully 🤞
A swallow of lemon juice will fix you right up.
Vinegar has always helped me. Malt vinegar, or Apple cider vinegar.
Trader Joes has a really yummy lemon ginger acv drink that’s one of my go to’s
- Get water
- Sip the water slowly and constantly
- Always be swallowing
- Don’t stop
- Keep Sipping
- It should start to feel weird how long you’ve been sipping this water
- Keep sipping
- Enjoy not having hiccups
It took me years to work out when people say drink water, they don’t mean, just take a mouthful and swallow. You actually need to slowly sip the water.
Rollaids
Sadly I don’t have any right now, but I’ve already tried Pepto Bismol and also gas relief pills, like the closest things we have around right now. No dice, still hiccups… ☹️
Honestly I feel like if I could just have one good long fart that the hiccups might pass LOL!
