  A Cure for Hiccups (A Cure for Hiccoughs)
As soon as the hiccups start (ideally, after only two or three hiccups), take several deep breaths quickly (that is, hyperventilate), exhale most of the air in your lungs, hold your mouth and nose closed so you can’t breathe.
As soon as possible after you start hiccuping (ideally, before the third hiccup), take a deep breath, look down (putting your chin all the way to your chest) and swallow three times; the third swallow, which tends to be difficult, is facilitated by working up a large amount of saliva before starting.
Hiccups often arise in the absence of any of the causes listed above, so you shouldn’t assume that just because you have hiccups, it’s due to one of those things (in fact, the odds are it’s not).
