Thread: Hic-cups! What's your cure?

One of our physicians once told me that their ultimate cure is cocaïne powder administered through a gastroscope into the stomach.

I take a deep breath, swallow, and count to 30. It has worked flawlessly for the last 25 years.

Big gulp of water, seven smaller swallows of same to rid yourself of the hiccups.

This works - fill a glass with water and drink from the opposite side that you would normally, without spilling any. This of course, means you have to bend over and, I think it's this and the fact that you have to concentrate that helps get rid of the problem.

Here's how I help my wife when she has the hiccups.

That's what I do too! It pushes down on the diaphragm to relax it, that's my theory.
