There are cures for hiccups!?
2 comments

I found something that works for me. Hold my breath for a short while, then start breathing slowly and continue breathing slowly. Then I might start breathing normally and if it comes back repeat the process. Usually I can make them stop in a few minutes (or sometimes 5+ mins). On certain occasions I can't control them, e.g. eating very spicy food without realizing I was doing so or exceeding my max limit for spicy-ness (which used to be very high but I don't partake as much).
