Apperently telling yourself " IM NOT A FISH" works too...i tried it myself and worked..thought it was just a coincidence than a few days later my gf had hiccups so i told her to tell herself shes not a fish and it worked literally 2-5mins later..my minds blown and im concerned we used to be FISHES😂
You also have a pressure point on your eyebrow bone where your brow meets the middle of your face. If you put pressure on that divot near your nose that should also stop hiccups. (Needs citation, saw it in a doctor show, but always works for me) Might not be as fun depending on who you ask tho. 😐
If you want an actual cure for hiccups: it's a hug. A real one, from someone you're comfortable with, someone around whom you can be relaxed. You're welcome.
my go to fix for hiccups is distraction. i have pretty long lashes so i would close my eyes, try to touch my lashes as lightly as i can with my pinky and focus on that sensation, and for some reason the hiccups would just be gone after a few moments. ik it's weird and dumb, but i think you have to just be conscious bout the distraction enough that you forget bout the hiccups. just me tho. good luck everyone. careful sticking up stuff up your bum bum
The vagus nerve is not connected to your anus but the sacral plexus of the parasympathetic system, is. So, the vagus response is due to a signal generated in the same system but not directly through it. (I'm a Medical Doctor) Great video!
The hands down best way I've found to get rid of hiccups is to think of literally anything with your internal dialog. Like say some shit in your head. The idea I found initially was telling yourself in your head that your not a fish anymore, thought that was dumb but it worked, tried it with other thoughts, as simple as, "Think of something", my hiccups are gone after the 1st hiccup everytime now
I had a hiccup that lasted for days and the only thing that worked was to make yourself puke. I don't think your advice would have worked or will work on more extreme cases.
I have this trick to stop anyone else's hiccups. I start telling them, in a very serious voice, that a group of scientists and a doctor won Ig Nobel prizes in 2006 for discovering independently that hiccups can be cured with (dramatic pause) rectal massages. And it has worked every time for years.
All I do is focus on relaxing my body. A hiccup is just a muscle spasm. When I relax, the spasm goes away. I've done this for years and it works every time.
Of course any wind instrument player will tell you all you have to do is control your diaphragm for a few moments to get rid of them. And that's something you can do on your own.
I get rid of hiccups by getting a mouthful of water, bend backwards standing up, then drink, then go upright slowly. Always works for me, but next time I get a sudden curse of hiccups, I'll try the finger trick. 🎉
my method is to squat down in order to pull my knees as close to my chest as i can (or lay down in the fetal position with my knees hugged to my chest) and breathe deeply until they go away- the knees compress the diaphragm, resetting it, and if i don't do the knees thing it doesn't work
When i got hiccups i just drink water, doesn’t work, eat chocolate, doesn’t work, eat more chocolate, doesn’t work, drink some more water holding breath, doesn’t work… But after drinking 6 liters of water holding my breath, i’m fine!
How funny would it be if the study didn't say it could be ANY rectal massage, and it would just be like "the only way to stop hiccups is to be on the receiving end!".
For me, burping helps. So I just down a lot of carbonated drinks, whether it's carbonated water, coke, even beer. Best if the burp and the hiccup happen together. I don't know if this will help with a chronic disorder, but for normal hiccups, it's been the best thing for me
Thank you so much, I’ve been having a problem with my throat being tight for the past hour, and then I started eating and got the hiccups and it was unbearable. My throats still pretty tight but at least I don’t have the hiccups anymore :)
You know that hiccup cure that involves scaring someone? Well, it causes a quick, forceful inhale/exhale of air. I try this (and it might take a few times), and mostly it works like a charm.
Before stinky finger method try this: 1. Take a deep breathe and hold it 2. Take a large sip of water (don't swallow) 3. Aim head downward so the chin touches your chest and hold position 4. Swallow the water in your mouth in 7 gulps This creates a reset in your nervous system and terminate the hiccups.
Other counter-stimulations to the vagus nerve reported to work include a spoonful of sugar and a dose of carbonated water, so any full-sugar soda should do the trick. It might not be as much fun, though, depending on your taste...
Idk if it’s cause I’m autistic and I can feel my senses more but this video took my hiccups away. Just thinking about that sensation accruing cured me. I’m also noticing I’m using muscles I usually use when I yawn. I hate this life hack because I’m definitely never teaching it to anyone.
Vagus nerve innervation of the gut terminates at the distal 2/3 of the transverse colon. That vagal theory is unlikely. The distal part of the guy is innervated by pelvic splanchnic nerves (S2-S4). But it's a curious study
Eating anything with sugar works for me. Candy, soda, juice, ect. Water and artificial sweeteners do not work. I've had mild success with other tactics, but nothing works like sugar.
Classic gaslight. I had hiccups, so I tried this, but everyone at the food court looked at me weird.
I *literally* just LOL'd 😂
You used a hotdog didn’t you😂
😂
LMAO 🥴
I’ll just deal with the hiccups
Im hikuping rn maybe u might
Didn't know this was the way I was gonna learn that Mitch is a top

Being used to "a finger" is a bit of a different life experience than some other identities.
You weren't very good at those connect-the-dots drawings in preschool, were you?
Not necesarilly the case, though. They both might be verse, who knows? 🤷♂️ not our business eitherway
@@MarcosNaceli You know damn well this man aint vers🤣
"Nah baby, I just wanna make sure you dont get any hiccups"
Wasn't expecting such a savage ending line. 😅

If you're concerned then there's a book called Your Inner Fish that you may want to stay away from.
@@510tuber Not concerned its more like why tf is it working cause till this day it works. Obviously we not fish lmao
That ending 😂😭

@@emanuelashosha test it.
@@octupy01 i can't tbh i was jus being edgy, i have no one that loves me so i can't know whether this works. lol
@@emanuelashosha well... here. Have a virtual hug.
Wait, a finger is enough? All these years...
We warned you... using the whole fist was overdoing it

Great video!
Drinking water from a water bottle upside down (or your head between your legs while standing up). It works 100% of the times.

Huh
Huh?
Nice try ASAP Science
He's so delighted at this information
Last line = "I've never had hiccoughs, huh, how about that"
Reminding myself that I'm not a fish works.
Thanks Jordan

Recently, I tried telling myself "you're not a fish" and it works
I'll stick with drinking water and holding my breath. Thanks.

Oh here I was worrying the solution would be uncomfortable.
Yeah that'd cure my hiccups. I'd immediately die.
Well then you're going to die every year over a certain age. Prostate exams are hella important!
I checked the date to see if it's an April's Fool video 🤨
Of course any wind instrument player will tell you all you have to do is control your diaphragm for a few moments to get rid of them. And that's something you can do on your own.
"Wind instrument" 😂😂
Is mayonnaise a wind instrument?
Jokes aside, that's what I do. I take a couple of deep breaths to try and regain control of the diaphragm.
This may work, but I don't want it to...

And have your friend to scare your hiccups away
I usually just drink through a straw while pulling on my earlobes at the same time. It works almost every time
So the most effective cure for hiccups is "try finger but hole". No thanks, I'll pass.
Holding air in your lungs (not mouth) works very well and ill go with that...
Guess I'll have to deal with my hiccups for two weeks
Tickles work too !
All future hiccup conversations:
Someone: “I have hiccups”
Me: “Well I’m not a proctologist but I can take a look”
Y’all this is just his pick-up line 💀
I do the close your eyes and barely touch your lids with your pinkies trick.
The fact that this shocked me enough to make my hiccups stop.
Just tell yourself you’re not a fish it’s like a real life cheat code
my method is to squat down in order to pull my knees as close to my chest as i can (or lay down in the fetal position with my knees hugged to my chest) and breathe deeply until they go away- the knees compress the diaphragm, resetting it, and if i don't do the knees thing it doesn't work
also telling someone to intentionally demonstrate a hiccup would make them stop
Only hearing this stopped my hiccups LMAO
- Just try water.
When i got hiccups i just drink water, doesn’t work, eat chocolate, doesn’t work, eat more chocolate, doesn’t work, drink some more water holding breath, doesn’t work…
But after drinking 6 liters of water holding my breath, i’m fine!
I can stop hiccuping by being conscious about my breathing and making each breath a slow manual breath. I can do this 100% of the time.
I could never get used to that! 👉 😂
Well, if it works… it works
How funny would it be if the study didn't say it could be ANY rectal massage, and it would just be like "the only way to stop hiccups is to be on the receiving end!".
You can literally just drink water while holding your breath , it works

I think I'll just ride it out.
How did even someone found that out 😂😂😂😂😂
YOU'RE LAUGH AT THE END AHHH
Literally laughed out loud at the end 😂
Slightly less effective, but also confirmed treatment: a spoonful of sugar. So maybe try this one first
No no, uncle John got me with this one when I was younger. I’m not falling for it again
Seven swallows of water without breathing in between. My fourth grade teacher taught me that to get rid of hiccups and it works every single time!
Breathing slowly, holding my breath and then breathing slowly again worked for me last time.
I want to know how this was found.
"I have hiccups"
*puts gloves on
"I'm gonna try something unorthodox"
I'll just drink water upside down
One of the studies that found this won an Ig-Nobel in medicine some years ago :D
How to get rid of hiccups: gargle a saltwater.

I have a neighbor that has been trying to stop his hiccup for years with this method...
I bet they kept getting them 😅
For me( I think it can work for you too)- when I get hiccups, I just hiccup 2 times, then start gulping continually until it stops.
He's so happy he has another excuse
Just remind yourself you’re not a fish, duh
The punchline is incredible 😩🤣
I was not expecting that... best joke ever!

the last one thou!!🤣🤣
My hiccups are unstoppable, I jus have to suffer for 5-30 minutes. No water or breathing helps. Not ready to try this technique lmao

I’m upset
Sugar: Bro💀 You forgot me☠️
Who the hell was the first person to discover this?
I cackled so hard it stopped hiccups😂
I hold my breath while drinking water to stop my hiccups, it works everytime.
Oh, so THAT's why I never get hiccups

Hyperventilating works. I’m not getting poop on my finger just because I have the hiccups.
This idea sounds like it was originally pitched by Larry Nassar 😬
I prefer the hiccups! :))
Links to studies or this is just a late April fool's joke. This is supposed to be a science channel but we're expected to take him at his word?
To get rid of normal hiccups is putting water in your mouth and looking up and then do it fast and repeat it 🙃
I clicked so fast... 😥
This isn't going to work in public or at family gatherings.
Oh yes it will
i thought drinking water was the only option to stopping hiccups when you get them 😳
Well next time someone's got hiccups im now trained.
😂😂😂 that final line
Am i the only one that thinks this dude fakes the hiccups for fun???
well thanks now i'm not going to be able to keep a straight face the next time one of my students has hiccups lmao

That guy loves getting the hiccups
I shock myself to get rid of hiccups I just jump from 15ft
Oh, yeah, I just wanted to get rid of my hiccups, right...
I did this but developed a tolerance so now I have to stick an entire table leg up there
a half spoon of sugar does the trick also, no digits needed 😢
How i get rid of it:
Drinking water
This ladyguy, something is wrong 🤷
