message to hickup girl in Florida?

My little sister has a good cure for hiccups.

1) Stand up straight with your feet flat on the floor.

2)Hold something heavy, like a text book, above and behind your head with both your hands. (This stretches out everything in your chest.)

3) Take the biggest breath you can and hold it for as long as you can.

(you can repeat this, but for me it usually works the first time.)

Good luck.

I have been curing hiccups for years!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have her plug her ears with her fingers and at the same time have someone else feed her about 8 ounces of cool tap water. As she swallows, the air passage leading from her ears to her esophagus is blocked, you can't breathe and swallow at the same time so you create a vacumn that will stop the hiccups!

Take a deep breath and HOLD it. While holding your breath, swallow as many times as you can (should be at LEAST 3 swallows) its not easy but has worked all but 2 times for me in the last 20 years or more. its hard to swallow like this but it really does work.

Mother can help by massaging the Chinese Acupuncture point on the spine joint right behind the heart between (T7,T8, T9).

While doing this let the girl hold breath.

Do one minute, then rest and repeat.

I can help you if you are in Atlanta, GA.

I believe her problem is not physiologically but psychosomatic in this case. My suggestion is hypnotism (and that is by a qualified hypnotist).

However, before treating it with hypnotism, breathing in helium as you have seen done with helium balloons when people want to alter their voice, not only affects vocal cords but the diaphragm as well.

But I do believe this case is psychosomatic.

My husband had the same problem which lasted for about 3 months! He took a teaspoon of sugar and they went away the same day! It worked for him, maybe she should try it too.

Gulping a room-temperature soda as fast as possible, and then belching at full volume has always worked for me. It sounds gross, but it works.

That is a good idea, or growing up we were told if we hiccupped again we gotta a dollar, never got that dollar.

put out a match in a glass of water, then take a gulp quickly...always helps me

Does that really work? But the claim they have tried everything. But I don't think they could have thought of that one!
