HIC!

What's your favorite remedy for hiccups?

Just curious. No, really.

Holding a deep breath as long as I possibly can.

This method works great for me. But you have to make sure to take as deep a breath as possible, pushing your diaphragm down.

Agreed. It also helps me if I can somehow time the big inhale to correspond with the next hiccup, so I sort of "catch" the hiccup with the inhale, if that makes sense.

Almost exactly like this for me, but I tend to not take the deepest breath I can--I find it lets me move my diaphragm more.

Ditto!

This! plus then drinking a full glass of water, while my breath is being held.

This too, for me!
