Learn2 Cure Hiccups
The not-so-funny spasm in your chasm...
Some people still look upon hiccups as the
damning evidence of alcoholic overindulgence.
Actually, they're more often caused by too-rapid
eating, very hot foods, stomach problems or stress.
These can cause spasms in the diaphragm (the muscle
in your upper abdomen that controls the expansion
of the lungs). Fortunately they're easily cured--as
long as you have faith in the cures.
One of the best cures for hiccups on record is
the "I'll give you five dollars if you hiccup
again, right now!" approach (witnessed in the
Father's Office bar in Santa Monica, California).
The young man, who had been going for well on an
hour, couldn't conjure up another hiccup for weeks.
You can't try that one by yourself, so read this
2torial and pull yourself out of the hiccuping rut.
Your objective is to even out your carbon
dioxide level, and there are a few ways to do
that. Some of these may seem odd, but keep
trying--one will likely do the trick.
