I thought I invented this technique...LOL! Somehow, I discovered it. It does work everytime.

What my mom taught me to do at a very young age.  Hold my nose and drink a glass of water at the same time.  It has always worked for me to this day!

When I had a bad cough/cold, a tablespoon of honey cut out the 'tickle' cough immediately, each time I had to cough.  Something about coating the throat so the post nasal drip doesn't irritate and/or 'tickle' the throat and cause us to automatically cough.  I'm guessing it will work for hiccups, too.  It's worth a try.

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I find if I just eat a little something, anything like a piece of bread or a cookie or a cracker they will usually stop!!

In the past when I would get them they would start off and on all day but not anymore!  Don't know why that is!Woman Wink

The only way I can get rid of them is to hold my breath for a true 30 seconds (one, one thousand, two, one thousand.......etc.)

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.
