hiccups..

[Paul56]

I've been on therapy for a number of years however earlier this week
noticed a situation I had not previously encountered.

I had a bout of hiccups shortly before I was about to hit the sack for
the night. My initial inclination was to wait until that passed. but I
hit the sac and put on the mask.

The minute the air started to blow the hiccups ceased immediately.

Coincidence or is this the secret hiccup cure?

Holding your breath doesn't work, as well as a whole bucketful of folk 'remedies'.
I found that continuously breathing in and out without stopping usually ends them--for me.
The trick is to let your diaphragm relax, as I believe hiccups are a muscle spasm of the diaphragm.
I will try hosing up next time. Cheers.
