How often do you get hiccups? Do you find you get them more with a certain food or drink? How do you get rid of them?

Has there ever been a time that it was harder to get rid of them?

I don't get hiccups too often, but I have noticed that when I do, it tends to be if I ate or drank something too quickly. They are always annoying to get rid of as well, and seem to last forever.

I was always told as a kid that if I held my breath for 10 seconds, they would go; it never worked, so now I just deal with them until they go.

There was a fine when I used to experience hiccups quite frequency. However, now I no longer get hiccups that often. I think that my body has changed a lot. I was to to drink water when I experience hiccups.

I hardly get them and I think it is attributed to dehydration If and when it happens I drink from the other side of the glass and it works😄

I hold my breath and fully plug in one ear for about 30 seconds.

Gets rid of them every time.
