Hiccups | ADHD Information

I love you guys. It's so nice to have a place where I can post my stupidest questions. 

So, on to the stupid question: Do hiccups drive you absolutely beyond the point of NUTS???

I feel really silly about this, but when I was a little kid, whenever I got hiccups I would cry and squeal and virtually throw a complete fit. I would calm down for those seconds in between, but then I would get the next one and I would squeal in frustration all over again. Now that I am an adult, I am embarrassed to admit that I am not much better.

I wonder if it just has something to do with my low tolerance for frustration, and not being in control.

I just had to get that off my chest. Thank God I see the shrink this afternoon (but I don't think I will be mentioning this to him - LOL).
Oh, no...not hiccups! Don't feel silly at all, bcgirl. One of my worst enemies, they are! When I was about 7, my family drove from Syracuse, NY, to Mt Holly, NJ, to visit my dad's mom. I had the hiccups nearly all the way, nonstop. When we arrived there, I actually passed out.    Now, if I get even ONE (and they never come in one, do they?), it hurts! I hate them! My mom told me when I was just a babe, while she was setting me up to hold me and feed me my bottle (which she had me holding), I would drink the entire thing before she was finished and ready to settle down with me. Then, *Hic* *Hic*. Wonder if that had anything to do with it. Also, now I get the hiccups if I eat on an empty stomach.   

Are we going to give our rememdies for them? Taking 9 sips of water while holding my breath usually works, but when it doesn't I just get all that much more annoyed. 

Gypsy, I have to say, that's a new one! And it's putting quite a humourous picture in my head!

Boggled, I always get water up the back of my nose when I try that one!
 I know how someone else cure's peoples  hiccups. She  has this  trick of asking a question  in a certain way that makes the person stop and think. The other day she asked me what I had for dinner the other night. I answered after a moment of trying to remember, and she followed up with "are the hiccups gone?" They were! I tried it on someone else, though, and it didn't work. Oh well.

 WTH is wrong with this cursor?
 
The best remedy that works for me is...stand flat against a wall with hand/arms straight up in air. Hold my breath, swallowing. (that's a trick in itself) Or if there isn't a wall available, I just throw my arms up, even if I'm sitting. Do I get strange looks? Naw....at least not any more than usual.    GypsyWomyn38428.5056828704I really (hic) hate those (hic) things. They can (hic) really mess (hic) with your head (hic). They also (hic) make it hard (hic) to type.

I hate those things too!  My remedy is to stand with my head hanging down to the level of my knees, and drink a glass of water in that upside-down position.  I still get funny looks from my husband and my son thinks it is hysterical!

I'm lucky cause I got this way up pushing up air and "belching" it up then BYE BYE Hick-up's!

LOL!!!!!!!!  I can just imagine this; a poor little girl with ad/hd, trying desperately to concentrate on something, and then with each hiccup, her thoughts and activities are thrown off, driving her poor little frustrations through the roof...

I never actually had a problem with this, but I can imagine how it would be an intense aggrivation to a ad/hder...

sonya_h38429.4456134259 It is really funny when you put it that way! My family used to look at me though as if I needed to be locked up. I knew it was not normal to get so worked up over something so insignificant.

If I get hiccups now, I wail in agony after I have the first one. "Noooooo!!!! Aaaarrrggghhhh!!!" My boyfriend just sighs and says "go get the water. I don't even want to hear it until you've at least tried to get rid of them".

LOL.
Yeah, I think its funny and cute if the ad/hd is already known about...(to the ones watching it, perhaps not to the sufferer) sonya_h38429.447974537

It is funny, I can't relate to this problem at all. I am so diffirent at this point... I just ignore the hiccups... don't really care... I Just relax...

What about when you were smaller, did you people also scream your lips blue when you scraped your knees?

DesertHanyou, I use the distraction technique on my girlfriend also... it works very well.... but the most effective and easy thin is to swallow.... if you take some sweets, suck on it and concentrate on swallowing... then it stops at once...

 

I hope no one gets offended by this post but i have a method that cures hick-ups very well.

Simply close your eyes, relax and think about being involved in really good sx.  I don't tell anyone what i'm doing at the time - i just say that i'm meditating or trying to relax muscles or something like that.  It seems to work very well and takes less than a minute.

I just remember my sister... se sometimes screamned until she fainted, blue lips and all... or until dad said a loud sound, or gave her a little slap on the chin to make her come to her sences again... very, very odd behaviour[QUOTE=yellowdog]I hope no one gets offended by this post but i have a method that cures hick-ups very well.

Uh, is that what is called "a quickie"?     Sorry, Yellowdog.   

Taag Man...not me, I just got up and went on my merry way, until I scrapped them again. Etc., etc., etc. Unless, of course, I had the hiccups at the same time, then I would
