on 9/9/2007 I found the best way to stop hiccups is take a drink of water BUT DO NOT SWALLOW until you tip your head back--then swallow. Another way is to put both arms up like you are reaching for something; tilt head back then swallow. It may sound ludicrous but give it a try. Guaranteed to work. What have you got to lose?
