CharlieD Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I remember having these freakin hiccups but can't remember how I got rid of them. Can someone jog mymemory please? And, is it the Zofran or Decadron causing them? CharlieD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leslie221 Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Charlie, I goggled and it looks like it's the Zofran causing them. But I couldn't find any Zofran-related advice about how to stop 'em. Just found generic home remedy stuff. There's also some kind of Rx that can be given if the continue, but I don't have a name. Sorry. Good luck! Info on this link: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:lF ... ment&hl=en Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Lamb Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Charlie,the hiccups are a beast.Here are my two best home remedys. #1.Pour a glass of water,put a really long spoon in it so that the spoon sticks out so far it is hard to drink without getting poked in the eye.Drink the water without poking your self in the eye and hiccups are gone. #2.Have someone scare the crap outta you.The hiccups are gone. Good luck and be careful of your eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connie B Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 Charlie, scroll down the page please. BOOOOOOOOOO I just had to try it out! Hope your hiccups go away soon. BUMMER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe B Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 place a straw on your mouth sideways (so that each end is protruding out the sides of your mouth) and drink water while holding it in place like that. It really works... but darned if I know why it does.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patut Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Oh Charlie. Hiccups were like one of the worst things my husband had. We even went to the emergency room once seeking help. No one could tell us what caused them. They were actually hurting him they were so hard. The doctor finally gave him some pills for it, but I can't remember what they were. He actually grew to fear hiccuping. I googled hiccups and we tried every natural remedy we could find. One involved lying on the floor and massaging certain parts of the body - I remember behind the ears was one. Sounds funny now, but he said it helped. So I sympathise with you - they are truly no joke. Cyndy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.C. Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Charlie, Breathe in and out of a paper bag for less than a minute It works for me. Good luck getting rid of them. Jackie or I could go and scare you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
