Charles Osbourne had the longest Hiccup attack.

Amazingly, it lasted 68 years. From 1922 to 1990.

What a horrible life...

Longest sneezing fit The longest recorded sneezing fit is that of Donna Griffiths (UK). She began sneezing on January 13, 1981 and sneezed an estimated one million times in the first 365 days. Her first sneeze-free day came 978 days later on September 16, 1983.

Yes, Swallowing air is a common cause of hiccups and often associated with eating fast. The first thing to try is to chew your food more thoroughly before swallowing and allow more time between swallows. There have been reports of dozens of different causes of hiccups from inflammation of the esophagus to various tumors to a variety of neurological diseases but life-long hiccups, while a major nuisance, are almost always a benign condition. A number of drugs have been reported to help, most recently Baclofen�, a skeletal muscle relaxant drug. Surgery involving phrenic and vagus nerve has been reported to be effective as has acupuncture and near infra-red variations of acupuncture. You should be cautious in considering any therapy that involves nerve irritation or damage of the phrenic or vagus nerves.

well if you drink some water while holding your breath that has always work for me but if that doesn't work just hold your breath and than let it out really slowly

your diaphragm, which is a muscle above your abdomen/stomach. it flexes in a spasm and makes the air it flexed go up through your throat, which is probably the air getting caught in your throat and coming out that makes the noise.

They aren't. Hiccups are an unsynchronisation of the nerves controlling the diaphragm, which means that different areas are moving in different directions or at different times. They cannot be passed on because they are not caused by a pathogen or environmental effect. You may be confused with yawns, as they can be "picked up" from others.

From an involuntary spasm of your diaphragm

Many pregnant women wonder what their baby is doing when they feel those rhythmic movements later in pregnancy. Most are surprised to learn their baby has the hiccups! That is right, many babies have the hiccups while they are in the womb and some babies have the hiccups multiple times per day. But, what causes this and why do babies hiccup in the womb anyway? There has not been an overwhelming amount of research on fetal hiccupping in the womb, although there is some speculation as to why it happens. First of all, only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen. It is believed that the fetus breathes in amniotic fluid or drinks it. When this happens and the amniotic fluid enters and exists the fetus lungs then the diaphragm contracts and hiccups results. Fetal hiccups appear to be extremely normal and almost all moms will feel the babies hiccups at least once if not on a regular basis.

Hiccups are only when the diapharm (a muscel that controls your lungs when you breath. Like when ever you breath in, your diapharm flexes and causes your lungs the move up and become filled with air.) gets out of wack and instead of going up it goes down when you breath. I learned this in 8th grade so some things may be incorrect, but no they're not bad for your health.

you can get them by eating too fast and drinking

You can get a drink of water. But, sometimes that doesn't work. Usually, holding your breath works the best.

Easy Answer - tried and true - Focus on your Throat and 'see' if You can Predict when the next Hiccup will Occur : two False Starts will eliminate the Situation.

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.

No, it is not normal if it happens everyday. Maybe you should see a doctor if he doesn't laugh at you.

It all depends on what you want.

If you like sugary drinks get a mountain dew.

If you like thicker drinks get a coke pepsi or dr. pepper.

If you like flavorful drinks get a sunkist or fanta product.

If you want a low cal. one then get a diet whatever sprite or 7-up, but if you have access get a mr. Newport, it pits sprite and 7-up to shame.

umm why would u want the hiccups? but i mean the only potential way to get the hiccups is by drinking a lot of alcohol which is not reccomended...but that doesnt even gurantee ull get them unless ur hiccup prone in the first place.

A nonstop headache may mean that you need to get in to see a doctor or headache specialist for an appropriate diagnosis and treatment. The head pain may be a primary disorder like Migraine, or secondary to another disease or disorder like an aneurysm.

a lot more than you think.... more than 100,000

We are at 39 weeks with our unborn son and he has them quite often. We asked our doctors about it and no they arent bad. We were told they are basically the baby preparing him\herself for breastfeeding by imitating the sucking motion. Some babys come out with little sore spots on the hand\arm\etc where they did the sucking.

As the guy I think its awesome to feel the little guy hiccup while in utero... it's amazing.
