I have them for the second time this morning, and I've been averaging at least three times a day this past week. Please, does anyone know a cure? I've tried holding my breath, and there's no one here to scare me. Suggestions, before I go crazy?

Eat a spoon of sugar. Always works for me.

Drink a fizzy drink. Anything- water, lemonade just as long as it's fizzy. Works when I have hiccups. Good luck :)

Sugar often works for me too. Also bread with a TON of butter on it.

Hiccups can be really annoying. I hope you're not about to turn into one of those people you see on the news who have them for 20 years.

I always try drinking a glass of water from the wrong side - you have to do it upside down!! Usually works, don't understand how or why!

How do you do this without it getting all over your face?

That is, actually, one of my immense irrational fears. You have no idea. Thanks for bringing on a panic attack. I appreciate it. ;P
