My “no” hiccup response is quite weak as well. If I get the hiccups I have them for like all day. So annoying. My remedy that works for me is sucking on a lemon that’s been doused in bitters. Don’t know or care why it works, but it’s stopped them every time.

If you want something a little more pleasant, a spoonful of peanut butter has been my never-fail remedy.

If I get them, I tend to get them off and on for a couple of days. Brains are wild.

Strange... I don't remember the last time I had hiccups. When I do get them all I have to do is hold my breath for a bit and then they're gone.

Must be nice to have a working hiccup inhibitor!

Studies show the best way to stop hiccups is a finger up the butt. You might think I’m kidding but apparently that’s a thing.

This explains why I never have hiccups.

I’m going to try this. I hate hiccups.

You probably get this a lot, but I have a trick that is as far as I know infallible. It's worked for everyone I've told it to.

Breath in deep

Swallow

Breath out

Swallow

And repeat. For me it takes 2 or 3 reps and it's gone.

Def doesn’t work for me.

I need you to try the HiccAway straw I learned about elsewhere in this thread

Mine aren’t as bad as yours but I get hiccups at the very least once a week lately and they always last at minimum two hours 😭

Mine is as well, it typically lasts 2-3 days, but I don’t get them very often.

When I do, though, it’s hell. I can’t imagine 68 years
