How to Stop Hiccups Fast

Hiccups are caused by spasms of the diaphragm, which are the muscles under our lungs that control our breathing. Hiccups or Singultus are very annoying. To get rid of hiccups, you need to relax your diaphragm just like other muscles in our body when cramping. Here are some tips on how to get rid of hiccups fast.

Step 1

The easiest way to cure hiccups is to take a deep breath, hold your breath as long as you can then breath slowly. If it doesn't work open your mouth and keep it open for a while. Try alternating these two methods until hiccups go away.

Step 2

Another simple way to cure hiccups fast is to drink a small cup of water, but don't swallow. Leave the water in your mouth then
pull down both your earlobes. Tilt your head back, then
swallow the water in your mouth. Presto! Your hiccups are gone!

Step 3

Using pressure points can also help cure your hiccups fast. To do this, press the indentation between your upper lip and your nose, and hold for 20 seconds. This point presses on a nerve ending that transports the message back to your diaphragm.
No gadgets or water needed, just a press of a finger will do. This works!

Step 4

Here is the last technique to cure your hiccups fast. Point your tongue back towards your throat and
hold it as long as you can. Stay in that position throughout. If you still have hiccups, stick your tongue out and hold it with your hand if you have to. Keep your tongue stuck out for several minutes. Alternate the two methods until hiccups are gone.

Tips & Warnings If none of the methods work after you tried them out, just wait. Normally hiccups just disappears out of the blue. Use cold water instead of warm. Cold water works better. Relax and breath slowly. Hiccups are muscle spasms of your diaphragm. The more calm and relax you are, the faster your hiccups will be gone.
