They always seem to come at the most inconvenient times and overstay their welcome, but there are some easy ways to get rid of hiccups once you understand what causes them.

There are many different techniques used to stop hiccups and some of them are more effective than others, but here are some of the best ways to end hiccups in any situation....

Re: Hiccup Cures
For the most part hiccups can be caused by irregularities in food (like not being fully chewed) or even an allergic response (Like gluten intolerance).
I have a way to get rid of most, however it's not quite the same as any of the ones mentioned (although it touches on a couple of them).
It requires breathing in air one breath at a time, and compressing those breaths together (You hold you breaths without exhaling) Doing so causes you to pump your diaphragm up while also aiding in straightening out and pressurising any tracts that are otherwise causing irritation.
An optional step that I don't use any more is to actually swallow each breath, this can of course lead to belching.
