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.
