The longest recorded case of hiccups lasted for 68 years … and was caused by a falling hog. While that level of severity is extremely uncommon, most of us are no stranger to an occasional case of the hiccups. But what causes these ‘hics’ in the first place? John Cameron takes us into the diaphragm to find out.

This always works for me: take a deep breath and hold it a couple seconds then exhale very slowly. The idea is to stop the diaphragm then force it to move slowly rather than spasm. If you can do this without a hiccup it's unlikely they'll start up again. If you hiccup during this (which is very rare for me) then try again but with slower breathing in and out.

When I was in 6th grade, one of my fellow classmates had hiccups, and the teacher noticed it. She put a paper towel on top of a bottle of water, and told her to drink it. It worked, but I never understood how. To this day, if I have hiccups, I still use this method, and crazy as it sounds, it works every time.
@baoxin7894
@baoxin7894 8 ай бұрын
If you don't have a paper towel on hand, there's no need to use one. Just drink water slowly, but make sure to swallow more than 10 mouthfuls. My mom said hiccups are caused by not drinking enough water, so you need to drink more water to solve it. If 10 mouthfuls don't stop it, then try drinking 20. Btw, this method works every time.

Hey there! I'm an osteopath, and I learned in class that hiccup was a physiological reflex for the diaphragm muscle to re-balance itself. Indeed when the hiccup occurs, the diaphragm contracts, or in other words, it goes down. When your stomach is full, it pushes the diaphragm upward, stretching the left part of it, so the hiccup appears. Same when you get a strong emotion, you often gasp, or sob (if crying), which induce an unbalanced diaphragm. This explains the hiccup afterwards as well. This is why breathing exercises, or stop breathing for few cycles are methods to stop the hiccup: you try to "reboot" the diaphragm reflex circuit. I hope it helps :) Cheers!

When I was 12 or 13 years old, I developed / learned the ability to stop my hiccups. I heard that pinching your earlobe stops hiccups. It seemed to work for me, but I found that eventually when I would get the hiccups and consciously think to pinch my earlobe my hiccups would subside without having to pinch. Ever since, when I get the hiccups, as soon as I recognize I am hiccuping, they go away. I never experience more than 3 or 4. I learned to stop my hiccups with my mind.

I get hiccups very often, I’d say around 1-20 times a week, averaging around 11 times a week. Only one thing has worked for me EVERY SINGLE TIME. I take a deep breath, hold it, then I try to breathe in and out, without actually breathing in or out any air, which tightens all muscles around the lungs. I just do this until I feel my hiccups are gone. If you were watching me do this it would look as if I were taking fast deep breaths, but if you could hear me, you could tell I was not actually breathing. This was hard to explain so I hopefully its understandable enough to potentially help someone. ✌🏽💜🙂🕉

Some 20 years ago I read in a children's anatomy book that hiccups occurr when your diaphragm gets twisted, and that hiccups are your body's attempt to straighten it; also, that the remedy is for someone to pat you on the back with their fist, medium strength, right along where the diaphragm is, for hiccups to stop. It's always worked for my family and me. Odd that TED-ED didn't mention any of this.

I just got hiccups, so I'm watching this video. After watching it, I learned that hiccups don't have a specific treatment. However, I have some ideas to stop hiccups. To stop hiccups, you need to sip water 7 to 10 times in small quantities. This helps to stop the hiccups. Whenever I get hiccups, I do this, and it works amazingly well.

Yes! This is my method. I’m 2 years late to this video. But if you have hiccups you can try my method. It works for me but not for everyone. Take a deep breath, swallow it as if you are ingesting air bubbles. And then burp it out. You might have to do it a couple time but all in all it works for me 9/10 times.

Taking in as much air as possible holding it while compressing it in your lungs then slowly exhaling a little at a time then not talking and breathing slowly for a minute has never failed me. Unless I rush it or don't take in enough air. It's too consistent to a be a coincidence. It might not work for everyone but it certainly works for me. I've gotten better at the technique over the years especially since a medication i used to take made me hiccup A LOT!

Mine is similar too: Get a glass of water, breathe out all of the air in your lungs so that they are empty, then drink the glass of water and don't breathe until you have finished at least most of the water. I have never seen it fail when executed properly. Your remedy sounds much easier to perform though, while with mine it's a little challenging and it's crucial to resist the temptation to breathe in because you might breathe the water in, so it shouldn't be attempted by young children or people who aren't confident in doing it.

The above is my fail-safe remedy at any rate. I haven't had to use it for many years because I can stop hiccuping by holding my breath. The trick with holding your breath only is to: hold it, then breathe out, then hold it again. As long as you are quick and time it so you don't hiccup in between each hold then it works well and is easy
