Everyone has experienced the hiccups at one point or another. In fact, we probably have all had it several times. Also spelled hiccough, hiccups are sudden and involuntary spasms that start in the diaphragm, producing the “hic” sound. In medical terms, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF) or singultus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although they don’t usually last long and typically go away on their own, hiccups can be quite annoying. We probably all know a trick or two to get rid of it, handed down to us by our families or shared by friends. There are several ways to remedy hiccups that have been passed on through the years. However, prolonged hiccups that last more than 24 to 48 hours should be checked, as it could be a symptom of something more serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following are 12 tried and tested remedies you could try to cure your hiccup. But before that, check out seven reasons why we get them in the first place.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Eating Too Much Or Too Quickly<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eating too much food at one time, as well as eating too quickly, may cause hiccups. This is because eating this way could make your stomach bigger than usual. When you eat very quickly, you might also end up swallowing more air. This will also contribute to a distended belly. This distention may irritate your diaphragm, and in turn trigger hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Carbonated And Alcoholic Drinks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Both carbonated and alcoholic drinks are probable culprits when it comes to hiccups. Drinking carbonated beverages, such as soda, beer or champagne, can expand your stomach. When your stomach expands, it can irritate your diaphragm, causing it to contract involuntarily and triggering hiccups. On the other hand, alcoholic beverages could cause acid reflux. This is when the stomach releases its contents back up into the esophagus. This can irritate the esophagus, which may in turn irritate the diaphragm. This could also trigger hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Spicy Food<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Forbes<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you love spicy food, you might find yourself more prone to hiccups. A chemical compound called capsaicin that is found in chili peppers can activate neurons in your diaphragm. This can make your diaphragm contract, thus causing hiccups. Capsaicin can also irritate your diaphragm, which can also result in hiccups. There is also a theory that when you eat spicy foods, your diaphragm contracts rapidly so that it could release pungent air from spices out of your lungs. This in turn might cause hiccups. However, there is still no real proof for this theory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Temperature Changes In Your Esophagus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Medical News Today<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sudden changes in the temperature of your esophagus can cause hiccups. Things that irritate your esophagus can do this too. It is possible that this is related to the stimulation of the nerves that make your diaphragm contract, causing hiccups. Because the vagus nerve and phrenic nerve are located close to your esophagus, the food that you swallow can stimulate them. Some foods that could cause irritation include very hot food, spicy food, acidic food, very cold liquids, and alcohol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

5. Chewing Gum Or Eating Candy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The List<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A couple of things that could cause you to get hiccups are chewing gum and eating candy. This is because these actions tend to make you swallow extra air down your throat. This extra air causes your stomach to become bigger (called distention). Because your stomach lies right beneath your diaphragm, distention may irritate or press on your diaphragm. This in turn could trigger hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Stressed, Anxiety, Excitement And Other Strong Emotions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

It may come as a surprise, but strong emotions such as stress, anxiety and over-excitement may cause hiccups. While the connection is not exactly clear, heightened emotions may cause you to swallow more often. This means that you might be swallowing more air than usual. As previously mentioned, extra air in the stomach can cause distention. This in turn may trigger hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. More Serious Conditions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Hiccups usually do not last long, and they typically go away on their own. In the majority of cases, they are at worst annoying. However, if your hiccups last for more than 48 hours, this may actually be a cause for concern. It may be a sign of a more serious condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Long-term hiccups may be caused by irritation of or damage to the vagus nerve or phrenic nerve, which may be due to sore throat or laryngitis, gastroesophageal reflux, or a tumor, cyst or goiter in your neck, among other things. Central nervous disorders may also disrupt your body’s hiccup reflex. Some of these disorders include meningitis, encephalitis, tumors, or stroke. It is important to see a medical expert if you experience prolonged hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Ways to Get Rid Of Hiccups<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many techniques that people use to try to get rid of their hiccups. Some may be more effective for you than others. You may try different methods to find which one works best or quickest for you. While there are even more ways out there, here are some that are often used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Techniques Using Breathing or Posture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Valsalva Maneuver<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Verywell Health<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You might already be familiar with this technique, but might not be aware that it has a name. In fact, the Valsalva maneuver is one of the most common ways people try to get rid of their hiccups. You can do this by keeping your mouth closed and pinching your nose shut. Then, try to exhale forcefully. Repeat this for around 10 to 15 seconds. This maneuver stimulates the vagus nerve, and increases vagal tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

2. Breathing Into A Paper Bag<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may associate breathing into a paper bag with hyperventilation. This technique could also help with your hiccups. It is actually one of the most popular methods being used. Take a small paper bag, and hold it over your mouth and nose. Slowly and deeply breathe into the bag, allowing it to inflate and deflate. This increases the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. It also causes the diaphragm to contract more deeply to get more oxygen into your system. This relaxes the nerves and muscles that cause the hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

3. Other Breathing Techniques<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Healthline<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Some other methods to get rid of your hiccups involve breathing techniques. One method is holding your breath. Simply take a deep breath, and hold it for around 10 to 20 seconds before exhaling. This increases carbon dioxide in the lungs, causing your diaphragm to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another breathing technique is to take measured breaths. Breathe in while counting up to five, then exhale while also counting up to five. Repeat this several times, or until your hiccups stop. This method disrupts your respiratory system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet another method using breathing is to cup your hands over your mouth and nose while you take regular breaths. Similar to the paper bag method, this increases carbon dioxide in your blood, interfering with your hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

4. Chest Compression<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
PureWow<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

You could try compressing your chest to get rid of your hiccups. There are two ways you could try doing this. The first way is to compress your chest using your knees. You have to first sit down, then pull your knees to your chest. Hold them close enough to you so that you could feel enough pressure on your chest. Stay in this position for about a couple of minutes. The second way to compress your chest is to lean forward while sitting down. Lay your upper body over your knees with enough pressure on your chest to compress your diaphragm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Techniques Using Drinking Or Eating<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

5. Drinking Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Business Insider<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps the simplest technique to cure hiccups that involves food or drink is drinking water. From a glass of water, take around ten quick gulps in a row. The gulping action causes the esophagus to contract rhythmically. This could counteract the hiccups coming from your diaphragm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this doesn’t work, you could try sipping the water through a straw instead. Here’s the twist: Plug your ears with your fingers while sipping the water. Doing this puts pressure on the vagus nerve, while also getting the effects of rhythmic swallowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

6. Drinking Water With A Twist<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Insider<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If the previous techniques still prove unsuccessful, you could try drinking water with even more added twists: drinking from the opposite side of a glass, or with a paper towel over it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This first method can prove to be a little tricky. You might even find yourself somewhat dubious about it. But this just might be the trick for you if you’re up to the challenge. All you need is a glass of water, but you have to drink from the opposite side of the glass. If this sounds confusing, just put the glass underneath your chin. Then, place your lips on the side of the glass that is now beneath them, which is on the opposite of the side facing you when you drink normally. Now, drink as much water as you can. You will really need to tilt your head far forward to do this. This will cause your stomach muscles to contract, and may in turn stop your hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds a little too complicated, you could try using the paper towel method. Simply place a piece of paper towel over a glass of water, then drink the water through the towel. To be able to suck up the water, you will need to exert your diaphragm more, which could counteract the hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

7. Something Sour: Vinegar Or Lemon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Reliable Remodeler<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

According to a case report in 2015, sour compounds may relieve persistent hiccups. If you could stand the sourness, this just might work for you. You could try a lemon or vinegar for this method. If you have a lemon on hand, take wedge or slice, and chew or suck on it. It would be even better if you could add a few drops of bitters on the lemon, or soak the wedge or slice in it. This is colloquially known as the bartender’s hiccup cure. You may sprinkle a little sugar on it to make the taste more bearable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you don’t have any lemon in the house, you could try using vinegar instead. All you have to do is to place a drop or a teaspoonful of vinegar on your tongue. Just remember that if you’ll be using apple cider vinegar, you have to dilute it first in water. Due to its acidity, apple cider vinegar may irritate and even cause damage to your esophagus and stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

8. Peanut Butter Or Honey<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

If you don’t think you could stand sourness or bitterness, you might want to try a yummier remedy instead. Peanut butter and honey are other food items used to cure the hiccups. If you have a taste for peanut butter (and absolutely no nut allergies), take a spoonful of it. Chew it slowly, allowing yourself to get the gooey stuff off your tongue and teeth. This process will interrupt your breathing and swallowing patterns, which would help get it back on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If peanut butter is not your thing, you could try honey instead. Stir a teaspoon of honey in warm water, and take it in your mouth. Let the honey slowly slide down the back of your tongue before swallowing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

9. Something Sweet: Sugar<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
The Conversation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you have neither peanut butter nor honey, sugar is another quick and sweet trick you could use to get rid of your hiccups. The grainy texture of the sugar is believed to help irritate the esophagus and stimulate the vagus nerve. The New England Journal of Medicine has reported that this could interfere with the hiccup reflex. To use this technique, just take a teaspoonful of granulated sugar in your mouth. Let it absorb just a little bit before swallowing. This is one of the most commonly used remedies for hiccups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Techniques Using Pressure Points<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

10. Pulling Your Tongue<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

This might sound like a joke, but it’s not. One technique to try to cure your hiccups is to pull out your tongue. First, stick out your tongue. Then, use your thumb and your index finger to gently pull your tongue out of your mouth. You could also try just sticking out your tongue. This will help stimulate the nasopharynx, which is the uppermost part of the throat, and the vagus nerve. This in turn may stifle your hiccups. You might prefer to try this method in the privacy of your own home, or away from the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

11. Pressing On Your Palm Or Diaphragm<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"

Pressure points are areas on the surface of the body that are sensitive to pressure. It is believed by some that applying pressure on these points can treat ailments that affect different parts of the body. When you have the hiccups, the pressure points to focus on are your palm and the diaphragm. If you prefer to use the palm of your hand, apply pressure on its center using your thumb. This is a discreet method that you could do anywhere. You may also try applying pressure on your diaphragm. Locate the area just below the breastbone, and press your fingers there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

12. Massaging The Neck Arteries<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Health Essentials<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Another area that you could try applying pressure on is the neck arteries, or carotid arteries. These are the veins in your neck that supply blood to your brain, neck, and face. These are where you could feel your pulse. Lie down on your back, then use your fingers to carefully press on your neck to find your pulse. Once you have located your carotid arteries, turn your head to the left, then use your right hand to massage gently for around five to ten seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possible causes of hiccups discussed here might give you a better understanding of how hiccups works. It could also help you avoid getting them. The remedies listed are just some of the most commonly used ones. While you could just wait it out, these remedies could be useful if your hiccups become an annoyance. However, if you have had the hiccups for more than 48 hours, make sure you see your doctor immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
