April 24th, 2007 by admin | Filed under Uncategorized.The method I employ to eliminate hiccups was learned by accident. “Starve a cold, feed a fever.” Is that how the old adage goes? If true, I never listened. First of all, you’ll have to understand that I’m in the habit of fasting all day. Thusly, after nine hours of work and two hours spent in the gym, it’s pointless to tell anyone that when I’m ravenous beyond comprehension, I glut myself to the point of immobility. Well, on the occasion of a troublesome head cold, and after my daily ritual of satiating my overwhelming desire for some tasty eats, the dreaded hiccups occurred.
My hiccups could last for several hours. They’d stop briefly subsequent to holding my breath or after consuming excessive amount of warm water but would usually return after only a few minutes of relief. Nevertheless, while in the process of bracing myself for the rough road ahead, I began sneezing uncontrolably as a result of my viral infection. However, before I had the opportunity to retrieve a warm glass of water, it became apparent that my hiccups had already stopped. It was perplexing to comprehend because, as stated before, they’d normally linger indefinitely. After about sixty seconds of relief, I began coaxing their return. I suppose I couldn’t leave well enough alone. I felt some sort of a strange void. In any regard, my hiccups were gone. The only thing out of the ordinary I could remember happening was when the intervention involving the sneezing bout supervened. I don’t recall the next time an episode of hiccups reoccured, but after attempting a method of inducement, I discovered that they’d, once again, cease to exist.
No doubt about it. The methods used to induce a sneeze are thought to be rather bizarre and disgusting. If inquisitive by nature, you may wish to gently sniff an effervescent potable such as ginger ale or champagne. Or perhaps you’d rather inhale a habit forming substance such as tobacco snuff. By doing so, the inside of the nostril is stimulated, engendering a sneeze. Yanking out a few nose hairs while directing your face toward a bright light source is taking it to extremes but, nevertheless, doable. Another way of generating a sneeze is highly effective but is equally as revolting as the methods previously mentioned. For the best results, ever so gingerly, stimulate the nostril of choice with a soft prod. Prod your own nostril, of course. A sneeze is guaranteed. Neither employ the use of a toothpick, barbecue skewer nor any other sharp objects. You may hiccup during the process and cause considerable damage. Acting quickly limits the number of times you’ll need to sneeze and the sooner you make an earnest attempt to rid yourself of the dreaded disorder, the less probability there is of their reappearance.
Needless to say, one must exercise caution while implementing the prodding maneuver. I know an individual who was recommended by her doctor to stifle or suppress a sneeze as a result to a mishap involving a broken rib. If your physician urged similar counseling, I suggest you merely pass this information along to someone of heartier stock.
