My niece has 'reverse hiccups' she sounds like a sheep baaing or a goat bleating instead of a 'hic' sound. I have to try very hard not to laugh.

In German Folklore, it's either the aforesaid, or "someone is thinking of you while kissing someone else" 😁

Jenny, I have had hiccoughs for up to 30, which may not be long, but for me it was beginning to be painful. I was glad it stopped, some people really suffer with it.

All my children develop hiccups after laughing out loud. Funnily, I felt their hiccups during all my pregnancies and knew when they turned upside down.

I am bewildered by why people need to stop the hiccups with all these strange cures – obviously some people get hiccups much worse than others! In my very rare experience of hiccups they just seem to stop of their own accord after a minute or two, so I never have to resort to these bizarre cures!

My foolproof way of stopping hiccups is to sit quietly and press on my closed eyes until I see stars. I wait another 20 - 30 seconds, then they're gone. Works for me everytime!

I heard that sneezing cures hiccups.

When I have the hiccups, I exhale all the air I can from my lungs and then hold my breath while raising my diaphragm to the bottom of my lungs. When the urge to hiccup occurs, I am able to suppress it. And when this urge to hiccup passes, I start breathing again.

I had a boss that would offer me money if I continued to cough. It worked for me.

if holding your breath doesn't work eat a spoonful of sugar it may sound nasty but the 2 reasons why we hiccup is too much air in our lungs or we aren't processing sugar properly
