Why do we hiccup? Sometimes, it happens when we eat too much. Sometimes, emotional stress, excitement, temperature changes, swallowing air with chewing gum can cause hiccups.
When we start hiccups in public, we are really in trouble. Let’s see some easy tricks to get rid of hiccups.
5 Tips to Get Rid of Hiccups
01. Drink Some Water
When the hiccups come, take a glass or two of water and drink a few gulps. Of course, you are not advised to ‘drink’ water, I really mean to ‘swallow’ it with nine or 10 sips of water.
02. Take a Deep Breath and Hold
Inhale deeply and hold it for 10 to 15 seconds. Then exhale slowly. Do this several times. This technique is actually working not only for hiccups but also for the stress. At the beginning of the article, we have mentioned that emotional stress can cause hiccups. So, this trick can be applied to both matters.
03. Yawn a Lot
Open the mouth wide and yawn several times.
04. Sugar
Swallow some granulated sugar.
05. Eat Slowly
When you eat, slow down. Eating quickly, you swallow more air, and that can cause hiccups as well as burping. And avoid overeating as well.
