NoshowJones Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 The last time I had the hiccups was when I was about 10 years old. I am in Pattaya and was doing a lot of walking and drinking lts of water, low fat milk and "no sugar" drinks. After I went to bed I got the hiccups which seemed to last a long time. I really thought that getting the hiccups was a childrens thing. Anyone else who is a non or social drinker ever get the hiccups?
Lacessit Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Hiccups sometimes are caused by eating or drinking too much, or too fast. If they last for more than 48 hours, time to see a doctor. They can usually be fixed by drinking water from the other side of a glass, so that the glass rim where you would normally drink from is under the chin. 1 1

'non social drinker'.... I am a social drinker and sometimes get the hiccups if I've been a little 'more social than I should' !!!... On occasion I have had hiccups when not drinking - over the years I've found holding my breath for as long as physically possible does the trick. 1 1 1
The Fugitive Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Try drinking water steadily and continuously. By the seventh swallow your hiccups should have ceased.

I think that's an old wives tale, same as putting a cold key down your back. Holding breath usually works for me, and I am a social drinker. 1

steven100 Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Hiccups can be stopped if you drink a tablespoon of sweet raspberry cordial syrup ( the undiluted one )

Why Raspberry as opposed to Strawberry, Blackberry, Halleberry, Chuckberry etc. 1
Sheryl Posted February 9, 2024 Posted February 9, 2024 Hiccups can happen to anyone. In some cases they are caused by alcohol, or eating too quickly; in other cases they are due to a medical condition (something that irritates the diapraghm) and in others, there is no identifiable cause. In rare cases they can go on for days or even weeks/months and elude all home remedies. Since most hiccups spontaneously resolve it is difficult to evaluate the efficacy of thew many home remedies advocated. People try XYZ until the hiccups stop -- but maybe they would have stopped then anyhow. 2

It works but I get funny looks when I drink from the opposite side of the glass.

People try XYZ until the hiccups stop -- but maybe they would have stopped then anyhow. Short Hiccup Almost every hiccup disappears with or without treatment. Many home remedies have been used to treat short hiccups. Most do not work or are only mildly effective. However, since these remedies are usually safe and easy to apply, it doesn't hurt to try them. Many methods are ways to raise the carbon dioxide level in the blood, such as: Holding your breath Breathing deeply into a paper bag (not a plastic bag) Other methods aim to stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the stomach. This nerve can be stimulated in the following ways: Drinking water quickly Swallowing dry bread, granulated sugar, or crushed ice Gently pulling on the tongue Inducing gagging (such as sticking a finger down the throat) Gently rubbing the eyeballs Some sound funny but in the time you try them in most cases the hiccup is gone. By itself.
