Curing Hiccups by Holding Your Breath & Sticking Out Your Tongue

As with many home remedies for hiccups some may seem humorous or funny but this does not mean you should discount them.

The methods I am listing on the site are documented from people all over the world as their most reliable ways for curing hiccups.

This next method is another breathing exercise that uses a slight variation of the previous methods I have discussed.

Cure Hiccups by Sticking Out Your Tongue and Plugging Your Ears

1. The first thing you need to do is inhale and then exhale slowly forcing all the air out of your lungs. Do this until your body automatically tries to inhale more air.
2. When this happens, stick out your tongue and take a long deep breath. Inhale slowly taking as much air into your lungs as possible until you feel like you can’t hold anymore.
3. Then take your hands and plug your ears with your fingers.
4. Hold your breath for as long as possible. Remember not to strain yourself as this can raise your blood pressure.
5. After about 30 to 45 seconds, exhale slowly. Draw out your breath as much as possible.

You will probably need to repeat this exercise several times before it cures your hiccups. If it doesn’t work after several attempts remember that there are plenty of articles on the site to help you cure your hiccups.

Be patient and do not get discouraged.

Finally Cured After 7 Days of Persistent Hiccups

When I woke up I felt up I felt sleepy and disoriented.

The Chlorpromazine had really zonked me out, in combination with the fact that I had not slept well for the past few nights. I sat up in bed and took a sip of water and the first thing I noticed was… my hiccups were gone.

Now this may seem like I am jumping the gun, but I could tell something was different. You see my hiccups had been so bad that every morning when I woke up I was already hiccupping. In fact sometimes it was the sound of my own hiccups that would wake me up in the morning.

I was so happy, I was actually in disbelief. I just laid there in bed expecting them to come back. I tried not to think about it too much because of how much power the mind seems to have over health related conditions, but it was hard not to think about it.

After 7 days of extreme agony, discomfort, lack or sleep and food, and several trips to the hospital and Urgent Care my hiccups had finally been cured.
