Who knew? According to Health magazine, it’s possible. And, they offer four suggestions that might be worth trying when you reach that point of desperation…which usually comes immediately after the second hiccup, for me.
1. Plug Your Ears.
Sticking your fingers in your ear can short-circuit the nerve from your brain that controls hiccups, which are actually twitches of the diaphragm.
2. Draw the Line.
Use a q-tip to gently trace a line down the roof of your mouth. The tickle can stop the hiccup spasm. (I don’t think I like this one…ick.)
3. Breathe into a Paper Bag.
This classic trick produces carbon dioxide, which doctors believe calms the diaphragm, and stops the hiccups.
4. Get Distracted.
Have someone ask you a nonsense question or demand that you hiccup on command. There’s no hard proof, but some people swear by the diversion.
Hmm…I don’t know, numbers 2 and 4 sound sketchy to me, and my favorite trick was completely ommitted — holding your breath. But we’ll see, next time I’m a hiccup victim! 
Thanks Autumn, I think I’ll try number 2. Yes, number 2 it will be….the next time I have the hiccups.
