Holding my breath for 30 seconds always works. ---

Plug your ears with your pointer fingers, lean your head back a bit and have another person hold a glass of water up to your lips and start drinking (don’t chug). Seems to work every time. ---

Honestly, if it’s a real issue go to walgreens or the like and head to the baby medicine area. Look for Gripe Water. A small bit of that will make them go away instantly. It works for my son It worked for me … It’s worked for anyone whose tried it. ---

It’s going to sounds stupid, but this trick my grandmother told me has worked every single time for hiccups. Take regular glass of water and drink it from the wrong side of the glass (the side of the glass that is farthest away from your face). This will involve you leaning far forward and you’ll have to sip the water. If I do this for a regular sized glass of water I have never had it not stop my hiccups. ---

This usually works if people do it right. They spend so much time concentrating and holding their breath so they don’t coke they go away [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/quick-i-got-the-hiccups-and-they-wont-go-away/75730.md?page=1)
