great on for hiccups!I was always given various old wives tale ways of getting rid of hiccups and always after the second time, they no longer worked, I guess it's the "magic" you think they have that makes them work those first two times! So when I was given this tip for getting rid of hiccups, I was impressed to find that it worked, but also that it continues to work a year after I was told about it!!
So here it is,
first, suck in a big breath and hold it, whilst you're doing that, hold your radial pulse.
second, after 10 seconds, suck in another big breath WITHOUT exhaling and hold for as long as you can, then exhale very slowly!!
sounds ridiculous, but it really works!!! try it!!

For some reeasonI had hiccups about 8 times over a weekend, and I used this technique, and every time it worked.
However, by the end I felt I had been beaten up and my ribs ached.

ouchies!!I hope it was the hiccups that made it hurt and not anything I suggested... though holding such a big breath does make you feel a bit winded, totally worth I feel, Maybe I should've just suggested a stiff punch in the guts... well at least my little tip worked for you!!

Even easierYou know what really works? Suck a lemon or a lime when you have hiccups and you will be cured. If you aren't, tell me, and I promise to come over to your house and scare you.

vinegarMy doctor friend recommended a teaspoon of vinegar. Just imagine you're eating chips and do it. Works a charm.
