Have you tried pushing all the air out of your lungs and forcing yourself to not breathe in, your body will try to inhale and your lungs will spasm. Do it for 5-10 seconds then allow yourself to breathe. I find there are hardly ever any hiccups after that.
Well yeah, when you're dead there's hardly anything leftover whatsoever
I've tried all sorts of breathing stuff and hiccups just break through anyway. If I inhale as much as I possibly can or exhale as much as possible, that's supposed to make it impossible, but my diaphragm's sheer force of evil will outweighs that of reality itself.
Get a glass of water and a straw. Plug your ears, drink through the straw for absolutely as long as you can. Has never not worked for me, used to have a hell of a time getting rid of hiccups.
I'll give it a shot next time!
I've always been a fan of leaning over and drinking from the far side of a glass of water. Something about swallowing liquid while inverted resets whatever it is in my brain or lungs
