Vinegar. Put a bit of vinegar on your finger and lick it. If that doesn't work then go to the doctors. I've heard that people have had diagnosis' of many things through hiccups...or maybe I'm talking bull!

Try this. Relax, take three deep breaths. Now, inflate your lungs as slowly as you possibly can, and as much as you can. Hold the breath as long as is comfortable, and then release it as slowly as you can. If you hicup at all during this process, stop, and start from scratch. Complete the process three times without any hiccups, and they should be gone.

You'll need someone to help you for this: block your nose, block both ears with fingers and down a cup or glass of water (pref from the other side of the cup) - works for me!

I don't want to depress you but the world record for hiccups is a pig farmer in America and he had the hiccups from 1922 to 1987. That�s 65 years!

Opps- actually even longer than that. See http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/index.asp?id=48509

This one never fails - block your ears and nostrals with your fingers, close your mouth and eyes and hold your breath as long as you can.

this really is beyond a bloody joke now ive been hiccuping for over 24 hours non stop not even in me sleep its really annoying i no its because of lack of co2 in the blood or sumfin, how do i get more co2 into the blood stream???

How about going to the doctors?

Go to your GP. You will be exhausted if this carries on and your ribs and diaphragm will be so sore.
