I work in a high end clothing store - so it is embarassing bending over in a nice pants suit trying to get rid of the hiccups. Even when I have my mouth closed i make a humf noise which everyone can hear. I get the hiccups a lot which being in your late 30's sucks.

I've had hiccups all day and now I'm finally cured. I usually ask people the question "When was the last time you saw a white horse?" And it works... If they dont know what the question is for. But I can't help my own hiccups. I downed half my sugar and nothing happened... But the breathing worked. Which is pretty awesome. THANKS Wow. I’ve had hiccups all day and now I’m finally cured.

It looks funny, but it does work every time. To do this successfully, you basically bend over with the glass of water tipped against your upper lip. The water from the glass actually runs down the roof of your mouth and you swallow. It's basically like drinking a glass of water while standing on your head. This works because by hunching over you are compressing your stomach - pushing the air pocket to the top of your stomach - and by drinking the water thusly, you replace the air in your stomach with the water. If one glass doesn't work for some reason, two glasses never fails. The solution to hiccups, according to Newton’s Apple, is to drink a glass of water from the back of the glass.

However, at 5:30 this morning my son woke me up wanting a glass of water, fine, no biggie.. only then I had a case of the hiccups. It is now going on 6:20am and they are finally gone.. Why? You ask? Because I did the slow breathing in and out of my nose.. Yes.. the holding breath, drinking water and the sugar ones did not work. Atleast not this time.. so thank you to the wonderful person who told us about our diaphragms!! yay! Ok.. don’t know any of you personally.
