A hiccup (also spelled hiccough) is an involuntary contraction (myoclonic jerk) of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute. The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc.[1] Once triggered, the reflex causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm followed about a quarter of a second later by closure of the vocal cords, which results in the "hic" sound.
Hiccups may occur individually, or they may occur in bouts. The rhythm of the hiccup, or the time between hiccups, tends to be relatively constant. A bout of hiccups generally resolves itself without intervention, although many home remedies are often used to attempt to shorten the duration.[2] Medical treatment is occasionally necessary in cases of chronic hiccups.
A hiccup consists of a single or a series of breathing diaphragm spasms, of variable spacing and duration, and a brief (less than one half second), unexpected, shoulder, abdomen, throat, or full body tremor. Hiccups may present as an audible chirp, squeak, "hupp", or if controlled, a quick inhaling gasp, sigh, or sniff. They may also present as brief but distracting or painful interruptions in normal breathing, with sudden momentary pain of the throat, chest, or abdomen.

    My personal best 2 methods to stop hiccups fast: 1 - Sip/suck water super slowly nonstop from a cup or bottle. Breathe through your nose as you do it, and don't detach mouth from cup/bottle. 2 - Cover mouth and nose with a clean plastic bag, breathe in and out carbon dioxide inside the bag for a few seconds at a time. Remove bag, take in some good fresh air breath, then repeat if needed.

    The true root cause of hiccups is a deficiency of magnesium, or a low ratio of magnesium to calcium. Magnesium is necessary for the calming and relaxing of your entire nervous system. In old cartoons drunk characters were commonly shown to have hiccups. This is because alcohol depletes your body of many nutrients but none more than magnesium. Many of my family members and myself stopped getting hiccups entirely after daily magnesium supplementation.

    After 36 hours of hiccups I started to figure out that mine were caused by an electrolyte imbalance after a very long day hike where I got dehydrated. The hiccups started later that night after eating loads of pumpkin seeds. This afternoon after realizing this, I started taking in more salt and potassium in a balanced way and so far so good.

    A spoonful of peanut butter will work every time. Try and swallow it 3x without breathing. The peanut butter makes it much easier to swallow while not taking a breath.

    I thought I had Chronic Slow Hiccups for 5 1/2 Months but when I looked at my journals. I was dead wrong. I looked back further at my journals, I was having really hard Shortness of Breath which is hiccups chronically since September 28, 2018 to August 17, 2020. So, I suffered for almost 2 years for Chronic Slow Hiccups.

    When we were kids whenever we had hiccups, you will be given water to drink and your name will be called and you would be answering while drinking and but the time you finished that glass of water, the hiccups would have resolved.

    I’ve had the hiccups since Tuesday, it’s usually 1-2 hiccups every hour or so. Sometimes there every few minutes while I’m eating. I’ve tried everything, like holding my breath, having someone scare me. I even try eating and drinking slower. But nothing helps. I need help!

    I will tell you what stopped my hiccups, I googled for a solution and found a video that said I should drink water from a tall glass from the far side of the glass. I tried it, I started to burp and spat out some thick mucus-like fluid. The hiccups stopped. I'm thankful that I tried it before I read anything discouraging.

    Drink water from the opposite side of the glass, works every single time. When we drink water we lift the bottom of glass upwards when drinking from opposite side you need to pull the bottom towards your chest to be able to drink

    Drinking water from the opposite side of the glass can help ease hiccups by changing the way you swallow, which interrupts the hiccup reflex. ❤️
