This is sort of random, but it’s a golden one: I’ve heard all the magic “this is how to get rid of hiccups” and I’ve tried them all. None of them work for me, and I usually don’t see them working for whoever else is trying them… HOWEVER… this one, that I discovered as a teenager, works almost 100% of the time:
- Exhale, as much as you can – nothing left
- Still exhaled, hold your breathe, as long as you can (including through any hiccups)
That’s it. For whatever reason, I find it works almost 100% of the time.
