How can I stop hiccups

To stop hiccups, Andrew Huberson recommends a specific breathing technique. This involves taking three successive inhales through your nose without exhaling between them, followed by holding your breath for about 15-20 seconds, and then exhaling slowly. This method leverages the hyperexcitation of the phrenic nerve caused by the unusual pattern of breathing, leading to the relaxation or cessation of spasming of this nerve, which effectively stops the hiccups 1.
