The man had the hiccups and the water helped him stop it, and the gun scared him which also help stop his hiccups as well?
Yes. The person may scream or gasp which will stop the spasms causing the hiccups.
Hiccups are caused by air getting trapped in your diaphragm. This can happen while eating or drinking and will usually stop after a few minutes.
You should block your ears and hold your nose, and get someone to give you a drink. It should make pressure build up and stop the hiccups.
Sipping water* can be helpful. Hiccups are mainly caused by spasm, so stretching the body, relaxing, and breathing easily can also help.Related Information:* This can stop hiccups by displacing air trapped in the upper digestive system.
Hiccups typically last from a few minutes to a few hours. Mine typically last from 20 minutes to an hour unless I do something to stop them.
The hiccups occur when the vagus nerve is irritated (which is a nerve that runs from the abdomen to the brain). They best way to stop it is to make the body forget about it tricking it to think something more important is going on. One way to do this is to hold you breath, this makes the levels of carbon dioxide rise so your body is more concerned about lowering the levels which then makes it switch to dealing with that .
It depends on how long you hold your breath.What you have to do is to swallow a big gulp of air.AnswerNo it doesn't, but a good way of curing hiccups is to get a cup of water and drink all or as much as you can, without taking a breath. Works everytime!
Jump off a bridge.
Peanut butter stops hiccups. A non-allergic child can be given a small amount of peanut butter to calm any esophageal irritations.
Hiccups are very common in all puppies and are actually quite normal. Puppies get hiccups when they eat and drink as they tend to ingest large quantities of air which then triggers hiccups. Common hiccuping is normal until dogs are about 8 months of age. There is also nothing that you can really do to stop hiccups in a puppy, other than having the puppy rest until the hiccups are gone.
Yes, rats can get the hiccups. Rats do not have a gag reflex, which prevents them from burping, vomiting etc. Hiccups, however, are the result of a muscle spasm in the diaphragm. Rat hiccups are silent. Your rat may sit still and appear to be twitching much in the same way that humans hiccup.
