I’ve tried many things before, but in the past couple days I’ve found that eating a packet or two of mustard tends to get rid of hiccups.

What sort of tricks do you folks have?

    I usually just breathe in as much as I can and hold my breath until I need another gasp of air. It usually goes away after two or three times.

    Lying on your back and pressing your knees to your chest is another way to get them to stop that works for me.

      The holding your breath thing works. You inhale as much as you can, which stretches your diaphragm out, and hold it as long as you can, even through the next few hiccups. Works like a charm.
