It's interesting you mention this!
I ate an apple last night, and it gave me the hiccups, for the first time in months! It seems if you want ot hiccup, you can't (see also: sneezing) My 4th grade teacher said you should stare at your thumb for 2 minutes. |

Take a glass of water and drink it very slowly. It's a lesson in control. Usually when you get hiccups it's because you've excited yourself and your system wasn't ready for it. Or...in my case, they're stress induced (I've had crazy hiccups since I was in the womb...when I'm stressed, I've been known to let them linger for around two or three hours at a time). Drinking a glass of water slowly helps you control the muscles in your throat and somehow your diaphram (which is the root of all hiccups). Now my hiccups, though still frequent, take up less time.

I am feeling much better thank you very much. The hiccups just kind of went away in the end but I'd like to thank everyone for their advice and concern!

Yay!
Another method is to swallow air (like when you make yourself burp) and hold it there a few seconds. You will hiccup no more.

Wanking is the best cure! Only do this if nobody else is around. Refrain from this practice if you find yourself with the hiccups and are in a public place!
HITATCHI!!!

I get hiccups only when I eat too fast. Do the water thing.
