No, I don't believe that's right. Hiccups are just a spasm in the diaphragm. For what it's worth, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiccup#Causes mentions a number of causes, but no stomach-air. And it wouldn't explain how some rare poor victims can suffer hiccups for days, or as I said, years. (Record stands at 68 years, noted near the end of wiki article.) I can't even imagine that maneuver. How does that work? |

My mistake, then. The part in the wiki where it says from eating too fast is what my sister said meant you swallowed air. It's rather like wiggling your ears in the way that you can't so much be taught as to figure it out. The valve opens momentarily when you burp (as far as I know), so your body already knows how to do it. You basically make your esophagus open and inhale until you feel cold air run all the way down and hear a small kind of suction noise in your ears. (This is when you know you succeeded in opening the valve.). Then when you exhale all air comes out and you're good as new! It's a lot easier than it sounds. Just try to swallow air and leave your throat open if the above doesn't work.

..........oooooodddddd........ at least you didn't have a headache too, Shadow. Hiccuping hurts as much as coughing with a headache. At least, it did for me.

Less the fact that they were really loud than they started in the middle of a yawn. THAT one went through the place.

I can imagine. I hate attracting attention- especially in public.

i've lived through so much i wouldn't know where to begin scary when i'm center of attention, though (for some reason people think i want to be...what they fail to understand is that i simply want the same amount of attention paid to me as i do others...) i like when people listen to me...doesn't mean i want to be the absolute center D:

You could try and give off the "don't-want-attention" vibe. It makes people try to "include" you more (I assume reverse psychology is to blame), and gets that medium people desire of some attention. I know because I gave off that vibe, and it only made people NOT leave me alone even MORE. I had to switch to "I'll rip your innards out. Teehee." |
