Hiccups

Posted by Umema Siddiqi on Tuesday, November 01, 2005 in
They say when someone is missing you, you start having hiccups.

I had four episodes of hiccups today, and am soon going to have a fifth one. I am sure of it.

They say hiccups can be controlled in a lot of ways. Like...

1- holding your breath and counting to 10 is one way some people can get rid of their hiccups; [counting to 10??? I started counting, and it was something like...1, 2, *hic*, 3, *hic*, 4 5, *hic*....argh]
2- other people say that drinking from the "wrong" side of a glass of water is the way to become hiccup-free. [What do they mean by the "wrong side"? Does it mean making a hole in the bottom of the glass and then drinking water through it?]
3- putting sugar under your tongue might work, too. [This sounds new now]
4- having someone jump out and scare you when you're not expecting it - helps some people wave good-bye to their hiccups. [yeah, right! Actually this thing happened with me today. *:S* Nav screamed and I started hiccuping. Or were it just just my ears which heard his normal shrill voice as amplified one?]

Anyways, such things don't affect me much. My hiccups don't stop even when I drink the whole of Tarbela Dam.

Ooo*hic*pps. They have *hic* started again *hic*. Sa*hic*ve me puh*hic*lease.

Che*hic*erio.

Hi!
I once heard that hiccups are due to the [some-word-that-I-can't-recall] in the diaphragm.
Wikipedia suggests some home remedies for curing hiccups. Also read about cures for hiccups and Guinness World Record- Longest Hiccup.

Regards and take care,

I hate hiccups:) - really!!!

Hiccups Occur due to LACK OF OXYGEN in your LUNGS... Take Deep Deep breaths next time... and Drink Water to clear any air clog to the way to your lungs... Anyway. May Allah's mercy be Upon you. Ameen.
