Just tried drinking water from the opposite side of the glass, IT WORKED ! after 7 hours with the hiccups, in order to make it easier I used a straw ! no mess , a lot easier ! Thanks Doc !

[@20AVX]

Drinking water slowly ( like just sipping/sucking it from a glass/bottle ) for as long as you can without pausing ( breathing through your nose only, keep the sucking motion going) has been super effective for me. Just came here to share

[@drgdfhg]

I just did that it seems to really work... im gonna drink the rest of my water now then..

[@burgessbrooks4435]

Worked thanks

[@ginao5217]

Thank you so much! Yesterday your Vertigo Video saved my life, I'm so grateful! !! I just use the breathing method and it worked! Thank you for your generosity in offering these videos. Blessings and Love to you!

[@Howardo8]

I haven't had more than 2 hiccups in a row in the past five years, thanks to a technique one of my ex's taught me... It goes like this... After the first or second hiccup, grip the fleshy part of your hand between thumb and index finger... Then, and this is most important... take a deep breath but don't hold it, make an 'ffff' sound with your mouth and let the air seep out as slowly and as long as you can. As you're doing this, simply let your body and mind relax. You'll look weird doing this, but it's worth it. I've taught this to kids and adults, works every time. Mostly with kids though because adults seem to think all hiccup cures are bullshit. Try it once and you'll never have hiccups again.

Should I hop on one foot also

[@fikent5252]

Brilliant, many thanks, worked a treat !!!!

[@damefrijoles]

the breathing out and slowly for 10 seconds about 4-6 times helped :)

[@janicedix8405]

Great information Dr. M..Thank you! Where those nerves are in your diagram. If you put pressure on both of them with your thumb, and your forefinger and press down in your collarbone on those nerves, that will stop the hiccups also! Blessings💝

[@johnogorman6364]

Janice Dix , Thank you Janice, I tried everything and your theory worked straight away. My hiccups which have continued for 24 hours, stopped immediately , thank you, and a Loveling blessing.

[@yanciwang1566]

I used one of them, and it works, amazing. I was searching videos about hiccup, because I just got it, and it was annoying. I drank some warm water, it did not work. then I hold my breath for 10 sec and exhale it slowly. The hiccup disappeared! just one time breath holding. I can’t believe it.

Thanks for this! I laugh a lot and hiccups ruin my day so this will definitely be helpful!

[@constance4065]

I was told hiccups can be a result of having liver problems. Do you agree with that Dr Mandale?

[@klarag7059]

I get hiccups eating dry foods that are chokey and also from getting up from reclining too quickly, (I think it may be from a little bit of reflux). Dr. Oz said one researched remedy is to tickle the soft palate at the back of the mouth with a cotton swab or something soft like that. I personally find taking a big breath in, holding it as long as I can, then trying to burp works for me.

[@zestyzirlonia6665]

Klara G I have this exact same problem Klara. I also do what you do, burp. It seems to do the job. I do suffer from acid reflux because of the amount of tablets I have to take. You should go see your Doctor my dear. If your not on an anti reflux medication then maybe you should be. Good luck ♥️

[@klarag7059]

Zesty Zirlonia I take a Rennie when needed. No more meds, please! Too much already.

[@murphs69]

Not a single thing helped... I am still sitting with the hiccups

[@dors_1255]

murphs69 I feel you. its suh a headache

[@viki6619]

Add one table spoon honey , lemon juice in lukewarm water and drink it. In my case it worked out.

[@klayvonisme]

I hope they are gone by now! Try 10 deep breaths through your mouth. On the last exhale just relax it out and stay relaxed without breathing for as long as you can. Works Everytime for me.

[@preethibajaj6023]

Thank you so much Doctor. The glass remedy worked in 5 seconds🙏

[@cherubsasquatch2987]

Also, while drinking something slowly, use your finger to push between the eyebrows, above the nose, at that arch.

Breath out as much as you can until literally you can't breath out anymore and it cutters hiccups over 90% of the time.

[@chayaleaguggenheim]

Hi Dr Mandel How does one contact you with questions

[@DL-qq4nu]

can i get a surgery to remove this nerve? i have been in the hospital so desperate to stop these hiccups. they are raw pain. ive been legally dead for 3 minutes in attempt to end this hell. i hold my breath for up to 6 minutes. i can feel the brain cells dying but its worth it when i get relief. i wish i can trade my hiccups with a person who has cancer maybe even diabetus. they are lucky to be hiccup frer.

[@drgdfhg]

Wow, Doc, I feel better. I still have it but better.

[@عبدالباسطمحمودی-ق7ظ]

What drinking water doesn't stop it and this person is not on any prescribed drugs, no spice, no fizzy drink, no alcohol but the hiccups just comes on randomly?

[@mehzabinshaikh8938]

Thank you for the information... My baby boy is 20 days old. He has bad cold and gets hiccups all day long... even when he is sleeping... Can you please advise.

[@zestyzirlonia6665]

Zakir Husen Shaikh if you give you baby boiled (but cooled of course) warm water that should help soothe the hiccoughs. It's an old remedy that has been passed down generations. Put a little sugar or honey in it to make it palatable for him. Oh hang on, I see he's a newborn, you might want to leave out the sweetener.🤗 Keep it in mind for later on when he gets older 😊

[@mehzabinshaikh8938]

Zesty Zirlonia I had given him sterilized water but unfortunately it didn't help. I will try warm water. Thank you for your advice. May Allah bless you with good health...

[@nitechcs]

try giving honey little by little , hope it will solve it. for adults it is working .slow swallowing for adults 1 or 2 t spoons

[@ngoiloi9174]

I had a couple hour hiccup and couldn't sleep. Holding breath didn't work for me this time. So I have just tried and found a new way to stop the hiccup by opening your mouth wide , do a lower belly breath out loud quickly until no more air inside you, you will hear the sound and feel tickle at your throat and cough. I did it 3 times straight, the problem is solved. Hope this helps.

You missed one Dr Alan... 'BURP!' Yup just a good old burp will cure all. If that doesn't do it for me (but it usually suffices), it's the old drinking from the other side of a glass while bending forward while holding your breath. That also works a treat. Thanks for sharing the hiccough theory though, waaay cool to this rock chick. 🤘🏻

Make you sound funny. Can't have proper conversation then. Found out if you inhale once and then without exhaling, inhale second time and still without exhaling inhale a 3rd time and then hold the breath for 15 seconds before exhaling can do the trick. Found this on a youtube short

[@scorpion9054]

Yup. This is only think that did the trick for me. It was mentioned in the Andrew Huberman podcast
