When I was a teenager, I accidentally discovered that I have the ability to
cure my own hiccups. This technique never fails for me. First, I take a deep
breath - just like for playing clarinet, nothing special about it. Then while
holding my breath, I consciously relax all my abdominal muscles. Invariably,
I can actually feel the hiccups dissipate - it's a difficult sensation to describe,
but I sort of feel it (whatever 'it' is) relax. Over the years I've recommended
this to other people, but so far it has never been effective for anyone else.

If you ever try this and it works, let me know!

Kathy
