I had hick-ups for 10 minutes straight this afternoon. Tried everything to stop it but just had to hick-up my brains out until it finally stopped on its own. Anyone else ever have them last this long? :rolleyes:

On the rare occasions when I get hiccups, they are horrible --- the only thing I have found that will get rid of them for me is baking soda in water. I'm not supposed to have it with my blood pressure, but it's better than the horrible hiccups I get. They are actually painful.

I find eating 2 tsp of white sugar one at a time helps, don't know why. Or drinking water slowly.

Yes, they are maddening!

I get painful hiccups too... not for 10 mins though. Well I bever timed them. My co-worker told me to stand on your tippy toes and chug a glass of water. It worked for me. When I was little I used to go upsidedown and drink water through a straw. It worked when I was little. Hope you feel better!!!
