Hiccups 😁

[Bender]

OK this is a bit random  

Since about the age of 12 I've been able to stop hiccups by physical means, compression of diaphragm and surrounding muscles is the best description I can give.

 

I don't get how I have not been able to get others to do this, over time though I have improved on this and can pretty much stop them in their tracks without physical intervention.

 

Is anyone else able to control them.

Many moons ago I once had them for 3 days straight 

Was that bad the Wife asked me to sleep on sofa 

 

So to answer your question no I cant!!

Incidentally the guiness record for hiccups is 68 years

Dear God I'm annoyed if I have 2, I class that as a fail.

Jeez poor guy. 
If I drink a cold or iced fizzy drink it will give me hiccups, I then have one chance of getting rid of them right at the start and if they don’t go quickly enough I’ll have hiccups on n off for 3-4 days!

I'm usually fine but have noticed cake sets me off. Think I try and eat it too fast

Is that full size biscuits on top of the cake?

[Tiggie]

Sadly no, that are mini jammy Dodgers!! 

[Tiggie]

The biscotti one is full size though 

[Slowlycatchymonkey]

You are one jammy so n so
and it looks like two cake boxes next to them?!

[Mississippi Bullfrog]

Spicy food give me hiccups. It makes going for a decent curry interesting.

Same here. My wife bakes for cake Friday for the school she works at. It gives the staff something to look forward to and is very popular - but not with me.

Usually I stop them with a slow long breath in then an even slower breath out while I relax my chest. A bit like a quick meditation.

It works every time after the first or second hiccup

Amature lol, 2 is a fail.

Nice to see someone else that can stop them.

[husoi]

OI!!

2 because I can't be bothered dealing with it after first one  

[geofferz]

Hold your breath for as long as you can - deprives the diaphragm of oxygen and the muscle can't operate. I think that's it anyway, always works for me. 

[manxie49]

Big deep breath in and hold it (although make sure you start breathing again before tuning blue and passing out ) , don't know why but it seems to work for me .... That said I only seem to get hiccups after eating spicy food for some reason...
