Eternal hiccups

2 posts in this topic

Hi everyone, I have a hiccups since 2 months non-stop, doctors doesn't know what to do and I can't get rid of it, I tried a lot of techniques found on google but nothing works. Even essential oil doesn't do anything...

It's painful and annoying especially while doing meditation or shamanic breathing...

Does someone know a spiritual technique or ancient technique to get rid of a persistant hiccups please ?

From the Mayo Clinic-

Drugs that may be used to treat long-term hiccups include:

Baclofen

Chlorpromazine

Metoclopramide

A Doctor may recommend an injection of an anesthetic to block your phrenic nerve to stop hiccups.

Another option is to surgically implant a battery-operated device to deliver mild electrical stimulation to your vagus nerve.

Also,

Breathe into a paper bag

Gargle with ice water

Hold your breath

Sip cold water

Personally, here is my all time favorite I learned when I worked in an emergency room-

 A teaspoon of sugar poured as far back as possible in your mouth, then drink an entire glass of water. It affects the vagus nerve, connecting your brain and stomach. The sugar irritates the back of the throat, and in turn, interrupts the spasms.

Other then this, acupuncture may work. You'd have to research it.

This is all I got, sorry its not an ancient or spiritual technique and you may have already tried many on this list.
