How to Cure Hiccups (INSTANTLY!) - Dr. Berg

I hold my breath and relax my diaphragm. I had noticed in the past that when I had hiccups my stomach felt tight, so I started relaxing my stomach and holding my breath. It works for me!

[@Truthfinder1]

Me too, every time I would get hiccups I would sit down and hold my breath for as long as I could as if I was underwater as a kid and then I would exhale and take another deep breath and hold it as long as I could and every single time the hiccups will go away. Everybody that I have told about this secret, it has worked for them every time.

[@Phillyhippie215]

This might sound insane but I learned how to stop my hiccups by doing very slow and deep inhales, calming my brain and thinking to myself “I am no longer going to hiccup” I do my best not to anticipate the next hiccup. And I swear to god it stops instantly. I even tried this method with friends and it worked! They were astounded. I’m convinced more than ever that The mind is a very powerful tool. And we probably can do far more then we’re taught with it.

Thanks again Dr!

9 out of 10 times, my hiccup starts *THE VERY MOMENT* I put my head on the pillow to go to sleep... When i hicc, I don't play around, I do it loud and aggressively, and I don't stop... I can literally hicc for 2-4 hours and there's no sleep that night. I'm familiar with the other 3 methods, which never work, but the paperbag one is new to me. I'll try that one. Definitely worth a try. And the explanations as to the why, how and when seem reasonable to me. On a sidenote, my hiccups have drastically decreased in frequency to now being quite rare since I started on healthy Keto, so clearly something has changed. Eric Berg has been my main mentor on the keto path, and it has been a major success, major benefits, so much appreciation from me. I'm grateful.

It felt like it had smth to do with air pressure in the "pipes" or some inner "tubes"🙂. Slow, deep breathing and raised arms. Dr. Berg, your video explains even better now🙂👍. Thank you!

[@belvedere92]

Thanks for the info on hiccups as I get them often. Here is what I do, and it works fairly well: each ear has a horizontal ridge in the outer ear. I place my thumbs under each and press upwards and maintain that pressure for about 30 to 40 seconds. You may call that the "Lewis maneuver"

Hiccups are also caused by pressure on the vagus nerve. From the Mayo Clinic: "Nerve damage or irritation A cause of long-term hiccups is damage to or irritation of the vagus nerves or phrenic nerves, which serve the diaphragm muscle. Factors that may cause damage or irritation to these nerves include: A hair or something else in your ear touching your eardrum A tumor, cyst or goiter in your neck"

Dear Dr Berg.The fastest way to get red of hiccups is hold your both hands up and keep your breath for 10 second.

Thank you so much for teaching nations to leave healthy,you are my first aid doctor.if i have symptoms i am just turning on your Chanel and bum i have the answers ride a way.

[@whosyodaddy13]

Friend, you just helped me out big time! I had a lumbar epidural for my spine pain earlier today, and this evening I came down with a case of the hiccups that wouldn’t go away for hours on end. It’s a common side-effect to the injection, and it was driving me mad because I couldn’t sleep (it was too late to call my doc for help). I tried over a dozen KZbin remedies over and over again (even my own typical hiccup cure had zero effect), even combining a few of them. I would’ve looked insane to anyone who saw me 😅. I finally stumbled across your comment here on Dr Berg’s video, and your technique was the ONLY one that stopped the onslaught of hiccups. Thank you to the moon and back, and I hope others who are suffering can find your comment! 🙌

[@liveItwell]

So glad I searched Dr. Berg’s videos for help with my hiccups! I have been coughing due to a cold, which probably caused the hiccups which I think then caused my stomach ph to be off causing gas buildup in my stomach. Totally makes sense.

[@gunshotrose]

Drinking water upside down ALWAYS works for me because you are supposed to place your diaphragm right over the edge of the bed so you are stretching it out to stop the spasm. Hold as much water in your mouth as possible, keep it in your mouth, flip over onto a bed or couch with your diaphragm right over the edge, take small gulps of the water, take 4 or 5 more gulps once the water is done, then just breathe. Flip over and no hiccups

[@as-rx9xn]

Thanks this actually worked for me

[@Varee.]

thank you for this, I suffered hiccuping fits for a few years after my car accident but maybe a different kind of one, caused by trauma. they were very loud long deep and would last more than a 24 hour window, cause me to lose my voice and my throat would close..my neighbors could hear they were so loud.. I did get trauma to my ribcage and could feel vibration and snapping around my diaphram also it affected my heart, there was an issue there and gurgling.. My GP said the only time he ever saw those to be after major heart surgeries, they put me on high dose of baclofen.. so happy to be over those days.

[@phyrr2]

You can also "think off" hiccups if you know how. It's almost like a meditative state. Once you pass the period when a hiccup was due, you can feel a slight anxious buildup in your chest. If you stay focused (holding your breath may help but best you just STOP breathing, not HOLD it which is done by locking. If you lock your breath shut you won't be relaxed). It varies but usually if you pass that hiccup when it was due and stay relaxed and focused, it'll go away in about 2 mins. Sometimes if you go right back to eating or drinking it'll restart. Like I said you can usually "feel" when you're clear to go back to normal. The quicker the hiccups the harder this method usually is to succeed with but I've done it for years. Now at about a 75% success rate.

I have never had an issue with hiccups. Whenever I feel like I am about to get one or hiccup once, I somehow move (?) by abdomen or rather contract it and it goes away. Heh. Still, very useful to know this, it is very sad to see people get frustrated with hiccups after they have been having them for hours.

[@llamellik1]

I kinda do the same thing, i also try to squeez al the air out of my longs and try to burp without swallowing the burp. Even if the burp doesnt come its allways over in just a few seconds. Havnt found anyone who could do that to untill now.

[@MelissaCapriotti]

Love learning what the cause it and truly understanding the answer! 👏🏻❤️

[@redmapleleaf4617]

I can stop hiccups. I have done this to many people and can only remember one that was a "tough case". How? Do this: Get the person to sit right in front of you. No laughing, giggling or talking. Tell them to STARE into your eyes as you stare into theirs. Tell them to look at nothing but into your eyes. Tell them to hold this position for at least 30-60 seconds. Then ask them to hiccup. They cannot! It really, really works! People have thought I was some sort of hiccup magic maker by doing this. I don't know why it works but it does in most all cases.

[@MisterAnjay]

Dr. Berg, I have R-CPD (inability to burp for others reading), and my hiccups usually occurs when I intake excessive carbonated beverages. At one point, my hiccups have lasted for over a month without pause. Are my hiccups also likely to be related to the CO2/O2 disassociation curve or would it be necessary to take treatment to train my ability to burp? - It is worth noting that during the month of where the hiccups persisted, I do believe I had excessive levels of stress which would have affected my O2 intake.

[@shivaranabhat5499]

This is a very relevant video for me. I get persistent hiccups that lasts for several hours everytime I try to clear throat or start coughing. Holding breath, warm water and all sorts of grandmas recipe sometimes work, sometimes not. Chewing lemon however works instantly, I thought it was sourness that's making me forget hiccups but turns out its the acid.

So why don’t hiccups occur when one works out? Lots of oxygen intake then. I get hiccups often but never during cardiovascular exercise.

Because you adapting to increased CO2 at the same time. Working out doesn't lower CO2 BUT very good question.

I suffer from hiccups quite frequently compared to a normal person, but they're mostly triggered by dry food like sausages, bread (well, that's not an issue anymore since I do keto!) or even cheese.

When I had hiccups, and when I would breathe in slowly, I would notice various places where I had the sensation of needing to cough. To resist coughing, I slowed down even further in those places. Once I finished getting my lungs full after about 15 to 20 seconds, my hiccups were gone. This works consistently. What's strange though is that the urges to cough are always in the same places.

I found something that works every time to stop my hiccups. Take a deep breath and hold it, take a sip of water then blow out a little air. Repeat this until you have released the whole breath. Do not breath in during this process. You will feel a little air bubble release and the hiccups are gone . I have shared this with everyone I see with hiccups and it has worked for them.

Take a big breath and eat it all at once. done! It took me longer to write this than it takes to do it. Sometimes, when the hiccup is really strong, one might need to take two teaspoons. I read it somewhere ages ago....I used it all my life, and use it on my daughter too, passing the knowledge through generations 😅 You're welcome.

I stick my fingers in my ears then gulp down hard on cold water. Works every time.

Hiccups may be prevented by having enough stomach acid.

He made a few videos on brain fog. Possibly easier to find on his website or by asking his staff.
