If you have singultus, what do you suffer from?
Correct answer: Hiccups

I like the folklore story!!

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" 😁

Try eating a teaspoon of peanut butter. Works every time!

1 teaspoon granulated sugar soaked in malt vinegar works everytime for me 😅

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.
Lorraine
Jonesy, my last two pregnancies the babies had hiccoughs in utero. it felt so weird but made me laugh, and the babies were both healthy girls.

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.
Jenny
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!

Deborah , yes, that is what I do too! gets my heart racing and stops the hiccups

Eating a tablespoon of peanut butter works too.

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!
Mike
I heard that sneezing cures hiccups.
Deborah
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.
Mariposa
I had a boss that would offer me money if I continued to cough. It worked for me.
Lulu
lemon helps

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
