I don’t careeeeseeee just make it stop

[rimonytt]

For me after having 30 mins of hiccups, I took a long breath rather a huge breath that fills my lungs and closed my noses with fingers so air movement is not there and kept my mouth wide open and miracle it's gone....and I got a sigh of relief

1:06 Where he explains how to stop hiccups.

[foza]

did the nose thing and it went away immediately, thanks!

[DarkVengeance]

heres what to do to really heal hiccups: breathe in until you feel you’re lungs are full with air, keep holding the breath in for 4 seconds, and when the 4 seconds have passed then your gonna SLOWLY… breathe the out by like making a small whistle hole with your lips /mouth and breathe the oxygen out slowly until you feel no air left in you’re lungs and if that doesn’t work then maybe try holding your breathe or drink lots of water, hope this helps!

[duncanmurigu]

Thanks man, I was trying to stop my hiccups but luckily, they stopped all by themselves when watching your vid. I'll however try the methods suggested in future

[Joseph-whof]

I have had hiccups for the entire day... It is so annoying.

[joshconnell]

In my experience, you can't hiccup while actively drinking, so just slowly chug water or something liquid, only stopping long enough to get a quick breath through the nose, then keep chugging. Only takes 15 to 30 seconds in my experience

[mendoncashon]

I was drinking Jim Beam with my friend and was having hiccups for 2 hours straight. Did the nose thing and stopped immediately. Thank you doc.

[merianlesster]

I swallowed one teaspoon of sugar and drank one cup of water very fast without a break and it stopped. Hope this helps someone

[shivanidabhi]

Thank you so much. It really helped my husband.👌👍

[dustinsanchezmusic]

I’ve had the hiccups off and on all day. It hurts! What can make this stop?! It’s annoying and hurts. I’ve tried tums and gas x… still hurts and won’t stop! 😩

[ajinkyasep]

My solution - Eat Omee D capsule.. wait for some time.. if still hiccups happen, take out your tongue as much u can and keep it that way for some time. Hiccups you go.

[jcflores]

My hiccups just stop for 1 hour and then continue again😭 its 40hours now. I have a cough by the way it’s triggered when i do have fever

[HajjibabaHajjibaba]

😳😳 ok I'm not going to joke around here now JUST MAKE IT

[michelle-pzq]

I did that and it actually works. I don’t have no more hiccups.

[kanelaneys]

thankyou so much it worked straight away after half an hour i found this video and bam the dirt is gone

[HeiItan]

When I have hiccup, I drink water and swallowed with bending my head down(stand, drink water, touch your foot by hand and swallow the water).
Do it four times repeatedly. It always stop the hiccup for me...

[aaronmejos]

that breathing and hold your nose is true thank you!!!

[David-gpfd]

Gulping water worked for me but you have to really commit to it for about 2 whole cycles and focus on the quanitiy of water. Not to small of a sip and not a massive gulp where you cant get the next one down quick enough in time
