Re: hiccups

[Guest guest]

My dad who is a chiropractor taught me how to get rid of hiccups. He said what you do is fill a glass with water, then drink from the opposite rim that you would normally drink from (so your bottom lip would be on the inside of the glass this way). In order to drink the water, you have to lean over while drinking from the opposite rim. It's easier to show then to write it, so I hope you understand. : )

>>>Hi guys, Anyone have had problems with hipcups. I've got a chronic case and the Thorizine I'm on isn't getting rid of it. Any one have suggestions?

Your friend may try HRV training as it impacts the vagal nerve.

Nick,

Compliments of the Mayo Clinic:

Persistent and intractable hiccupsRarely, hiccups may be the result of an underlying medical condition. When this is the case, the hiccups usually last longer than 48 hours. More than 100 causes of persistent and intractable hiccups have been identified. They are generally grouped into the following categories:

Nerve damage or irritation. Damage or irritation of one of your vagus nerves or phrenic nerves is the most common cause of persistent or intractable hiccups.

The vagus nerve serves as a communication pathway between your brain and organs, such as your heart, lungs and intestines. There's one vagus nerve on each side of your body. These nerves run from your brainstem through your neck and down to your chest and abdomen. The phrenic nerve controls movement of your diaphragm. There's one phrenic nerve on each side of your body. The phrenic nerves run from your brainstem through your neck and down to your diaphragm.

Examples of conditions that may damage or irritate these nerves include a foreign body (often a hair) in your ear, a tumor, cyst or goiter in your neck or chest, gastroesophageal reflux, or an abscess on your diaphragm.

Central nervous system disorders. A tumor or infection in your central nervous system, or damage to your central nervous system as a result of trauma, can release your body's normal control of the hiccup reflex. Metabolic disorders. Metabolic disorders that may cause hiccups include a condition that interferes with the ability of your kidneys to keep wastes from building to toxic levels (uremia) and a condition that results in less than the normal levels of carbon dioxide in your blood (hypocapnia). Surgery. General anesthesia and complications following surgery can cause intractable hiccups. Mental or emotional triggers. Anxiety, stress and excitement have been associated with some cases of persistent or intractable hiccups. Pete

If hiccups return, try the INFALLIBLE CURE FOR HICCUPS.

Really works every time- but I haven't worked with long-term sufferers.

1- Half fill a glass of water.

2- Hold it in your hand is you would normally to drink.

3- Bend over forward.

4- Put mouth on the outside rim of the cup. The opposite side than where we normally drink from.

5- Drink a sip or two from that outer edge, tipping the cup toward your body in order to spill the water from the outer edge.

6- Arise and go about your day or night, free from the hiccups.

It has ALWAYS worked for me, my friends, my family- though I don't remember having ever shown it to my dad or he would have already told you about this solution.

Best,

I've also read, though not tried it myself, that applying ice to the side of the neck will stop the reflex that causes hiccups. I guess the worst that could happen if this doesn't work is one mighty cold neck!
