    the only way I can stop hiccups is to drink water upside down. I bend over and drink from the opposite side of the glass. It is kind of weird but it is the only thing that works for me. I get hiccups often and they are violent hiccups and they are actually painful.

    I, too, get painful hiccups. Holding my breath and stretching out my body helps. I don't get them as often as I used to as a child, thank goodness.

    Getting mad seems to work to. I remember my ex having a terrible case, until I pissed him off. We both laughed about that many times.
