So, how do you get rid of your hiccups? What methods do you use to make them go away? I'm really curious!

I usually plug my ears and drink water through a straw. Other times, I just hold my breath as long as I can (which isn't too long) and do it that way as well. ^^;

I used to stand upside down but nowadays I just hold my breath because it's a little more practical

I just get water since it only happens when I get food stuck in my throat.

Drinking something. Honestly, I get the hiccups a lot, sometimes completely out of nowhere, so I'm used to having to get rid of them quite often. :x

Typically, when I get the hiccups, I'm in the middle of a conversation and have to talk through them as they rudely interrupt me the entire time. I do nothing because no techniques reliably work for me. I've tried holding my breath, drinking water, breathing slowly, sitting upside down and singing "Oh Canada" in French -- okay, so I don't know French, maybe that's why that never worked. And imagine people's faces when I sat upside down and started singing! That had to stop; people were beginning to think I'm odd.

I usually just wait it out. My hiccups tend to last for several minutes and then stop.

I suffer through them until they go away because none of the mom and pop tricks like holding your breath or drinking water work for me. This can be a laborious process though since they tend to last like 5 to 10 minutes at a clip.

I don't remember when I heard this, all I remember is hearing about this from some talk show that happened to be on at the time - but according to that, the best way to get rid of hiccups is to...ignore them. So ever since hearing that every time I get hiccups I do my best to ignore the fact that I have them. It seems to work, if I can get myself to ignore them. Easier said than done if I have a more serious case of them. And if I can't ignore yet, then I just sit there and try to relax myself until I can.

I drink water and it works.
I also heard a few years ago that hiccups can actually kill you (not sure if this is true or if a misheard it)

I inhale slowly, hold my breath until I can't anymore, and then exhale slowly. That usually helps me ;D

but I also recommend getting some water after doing it as well, because your throat will feel dry in the process :p
