Prevalence

As we already talked about, hiccups are not a cause for concern. This is a good thing, because everyone in the world will get hiccups at some point or another . There is not much that you can do about it, but at least it does not need medical attention.

Symptoms

The best known symptom of hiccups is of course the characteristic “hiccup” sound that it makes. This is sometimes followed up by a tightness sensation in your chest. When people have hiccups, they normally last from a few seconds to about 60 minutes. Of course, there are three stages of hiccups to look for. There are hiccups that last less than 48 hours; those are known as acute hiccups. Then there are hiccups that last for longer than 48 hours, and those are persistent hiccups. Last, but not least, there are intractable hiccups that can last for more than two months at a time.

Diagnosis

If you have hiccups that last longer than 48 hours, then you may need to go see your doctor. At this point your doctor is going to give you a physical exam. This exam is to see if the doctor can find a reason why your hiccups are coming about. Some of the tests that your doctor may run would be blood tests and chest x-rays. However, you should also note that your doctor may do an ear exam as well. Sometimes having a foreign substance in your ear can give you hiccups that will not stop.

Treatment

Most of the time, hiccups do not need any treatment at all. That is because they normally go away on their own. However, if your hiccups do not, then you may need hiccup treatment. There are a few different things that the doctor will give you to take care of your hiccups. One of the most common is medication. Other times your doctor will give you a caroit sinus massage. By doing this you can actually help to eliminate your hiccups. Other times you may have to do a nasogastric tube. This is a very small tube that will be inserted through your nose and down into your stomach. This normally stops your hiccups. If it does not, then you will have to take nerve blocks. This is normally the last stop in curing your hiccups.

Home Remedies

Most of the time, your hiccups go away on their own. If yours seem to be lasting a long time, there are a few things that you can do to help get rid of them. These hiccup home remedies have been things that have been passed down for years. Not all home remedies for hiccups will work for you, so you may have to try a few different ones. First of all, try swallowing a teaspoon full of sugar. If that does not work, then try to breath (temporarily) into a paper bag. Other people like to drink a glass of cold water. These last two that we will talked about are very well known. The first is to hold your breath for at least ten seconds. If that does not work, then have someone scare you.

Conclusion

Hiccups are nothing to be afraid of. Most of the time, you should be able to take care of your hiccups without having to go see your doctor. If you do have to go see your doctor because of hiccups, then you might have an underlying reason for why you are getting the hiccups so much. Either way, hiccups are things that you can normally take care of yourself. Try some of the hiccup home remedies that we talked about. They should be able to knock out your hiccups in no time.

Stop Hiccups Immediately

Eat 1 Teaspoon of Sugar. Should stop hiccups immediately

Breathing Exercises for Hiccups

• Lie down flat on the floor, press both fists against your stomach (parallel to each other, so that each fist touches each
  wrist), and breath deeply.
  

• Hold your arms out like a cross; breathe in as deeply as you can; bring your hands together in front of you as slowly
  as possible; once your hands touch, breathe out completely, as slowly as possible; take a slow breath in.  
  

• As soon as the hiccups start (ideally, after only two or three hiccups), take several deep breaths quickly (that is,
  hyperventilate), exhale most of the air in your lungs, hold your mouth and nose closed so you can’t breathe. Then
  (and, if you can time it, just before the next hiccup), try as hard as you can to inhale (but use your hands to prevent
  any air from entering). If you are successful, the next hiccup will cause you to hear a sound like a muted burp. After
  the last hiccup, sit quietly; wait about twenty seconds before taking your next breath, then breathe slowly.

Simple Remedies for Hiccups

Close the eyes, press the thumbs against the eyeballs with enough pressure to be mildly uncomfortable, hold that for thirty
seconds at least (do not exceed 3 minutes, as blood flow to the retina could be compromised in a very select group with a
longer than 3 minute exposure) then rapidly release. Some advocate holding your breath while doing this (which is
reasonable since few can hold their breath longer than 3 minutes thus saving providing an automatic protection against
unduly compromising the retinal blood flow.)

Hold your breath for ten seconds; then, without taking another breath, drink water for ten more seconds.

Turn your left wrist clockwise until your palm is facing outward; from that position, pick up a glass of water and take three
sips (over your wrist).

Intersperse drinking with breathing so that each inhalation and exhalation is interrupted by three or more swallows (that is,
inhale a little, drink a little, inhale a little more, drink a little, etc., then exhale a little, drink a little, exhale some more, drink
a little, etc.). The hiccups will stop immediately, but keep going for one minute or for a period greater that the period of your
hiccup, whichever is longer.
