Today, I have three cracked ribs. I have also, for the first time in my life, developed a case of the hiccups that simply will NOT go away. It's been hours. FML

Have someone show you the medical bills, that should scare you.

Stand on your head. Jump up and down. Burp. Drink Ginger Ale. Hold your breath. Get scared. Drink water. Juggle. Yell. Breathe through your mouth. ...and by the time you've read through all of these stupid, inane remedies, you would've forgotten to hiccup. You're welcome.

These are some causes. Overeating Rapid eating Sudden temperature changes Carbonated beverages, alcohol, dry breads, and some spicy foods. Laughing Certain drugs (opiates and benzodiazepines) Tobacco use (nicotine)

It's your meds. My gpa has that when he has strong ass pain meds

Ouch! Surprisingly, no one ever knows what I'm talking about, but a spoonful of peanut butter ALWAYS does the trick for me.

Sit down and relax and breath slowly focusing on your diaphragm. You can stop your diaphragm from spasming if you relax it.

Chug a fizzy, clear soft drink and belch up those hiccups. It is the only thing I've ever found to be effective, and at least if it doesn't work you've spared your poor ribs. That was not intended to be a pun.

Here's what I do when I get hiccups push your breasts or moobs out as far as possible, this should help shift your diaphragm. But I guess that might be painful with broken ribs.

Beat me to it. A big spoon of peanut butter has always worked for me.

I like to drink vinegar regularly, don't think this will work on me.

Find a store or a restaurant with a walk-in freezer and stand in there for an hour. I don't know if it will help your hiccups, but I'll get a chuckle out of how gullible you are :)

I just got over 4-1/2 days of hiccups, 2 Dr visits. I googled how to get rid of them, tried everything then everything in combination with everything, nothing worked. I think I just got to tired to hic and they left to find another victim.
