[quote]Hiccups are sudden, involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle. As the muscle contracts repeatedly, the opening between your vocal cords snaps shut to check the inflow of air and makes the hiccup sound. Irritation of the nerves that extend from the neck to the chest can cause hiccups.[/quote]

Some of the cures I've used that work are:

Hyperventilating
Cough and continue to blow until your lungs are empty.
Inhale and exhale once a second for two minutes. (faster the better)

Get a glass of very cold water, and have 7 short sharp sips (do it quickly, and without a breath in bitween sips) always works for me.  :D

Water, or anything of that sort, normally, just drinking will help.

Ive heard something about drinking water while you are upside down.

I've heard of the staring method, my Geography teacher does that.


I just live with 'em. Try walking in on two people deep in conversation while you have the hiccups, and let the hilarity ensue.
