Drink water upside down or hold your breath as long as possible - like almost to passing out... both work for me. I get them a lot... from peanut butter, eating too fast and chicken!!!

I used to do the upside down drinking, but no longer works. Holding my breath and trying to swallow while laying on my stomach is the only thing that works, but not every time. I had them for 13 hrs yesterday 8 episodes...totally miserable. Hopefully they are gone for another year this time!

I don't get them often, but when I do, they really hurt. I end up in tears, and having to go to bed.

That sounds awful, sorry you went through it!

I haven't had any terribly long episodes of hiccups but when I do get them they are painful and very unpleasant.

I get them like that too. Not quite as long but still a few hours at a time. I've actually been kicked out of classes because my hiccups were so distracting. I'm glad it doesn't happen too often.

I get them from bread like crazy.
I get them very rarely, but when I do, they last for HOURS and are crazy painful. Drinking water upside down is the only thing that helps me, and even then it doesn't always. Boo
