I thought they were brain farts. I'm certainly glad I read this thread and got my misconceptions cleared up on this subject *lol*

This isn't for real, right? The cause of hiccups has been know for a long time. It's an irritation of the diaphragm, which causes spastic contractions. Thus, hiccups.

THE CURE

The best way to get rid of them is to sit in a quiet place, close your eyes, relax and try to figure out where in your body they are coming from.

To do this fully concentrate only on this, no distractions, imagine yourself starting at the back of your eyes and very slowly going back down past your nose, your mouth into your throat, then your chest. Do it slowly as if you are searching for the slightest movement. do this for at least 60 seconds and if done right you should not have them anymore.

*sarcasm meter beeps*

I didn't mean to suggest everyone knows what causes it; I was just surprised that he didn't think there was an explanation yet. I'd assume a quick google would yield the same answer. :icon17:

What he's trying to say is : Meditate

Though i find a more fun/suicidal cure is to try and hold your breathe for as long as possible :icon25:

The cure for hiccups is to transect the phrenic nerve bilaterally. If you do that, you'll never have another hiccup.

I read a long time ago that a man had hiccup for over 30 years.
And some people died of it.
Hiccup has an influence on your blood metabolism.

Do I have to transect it? Can I just cut it?

or you could just fill your lungs to capacity thus stabalizing your diaphram, then hold your breath for a min or two.... works every time.

Post by **dmmh** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:28 am

i cant hold my breath for 2 minutes

Post by **Dr_Watson** » Sun Mar 27, 2005 9:41 am

hmm... i smoke and i can still hold my breath for 2 min... but i was on the varsity swim team for 4 years in highschool... that could have something to do with it.
concentrate grasshopper... close your eyes, listen to your heartbeat, and think of nothing... the pain of not breathing goes away if your mind has no worries.

Hey, I'm trying to be scientific here. Don't go barging in with your layman's terms, thinking you're clever.
