Today, I tripped and fell, damaging my sternum and making it incredibly painful to breathe in or out too much. About ten minutes later, I got the hiccups. FML

Today, I have three cracked ribs. I have also, for the first time in my life, developed a case of the hiccups that simply will NOT go away. It's been hours. FML

A slight hiccup

By maddie - 14/03/2021 21:30

Today, I got the hiccups at work no fewer than ten times in a row. I'm a cashier and not allowed to leave to go get water. Not only that, but I was called into the office to discuss my “drinking problem.” I don’t drink. FML

Make it stop

Today, as always, I get the hiccups ten times a day, sometimes more. They are very painful, and the only thing that makes them go away is water. The doctors have found no apparent cause. I hate my body. FML

Today, I was chosen to MC a function at work. I developed a terrible case of hiccups which made the audience giggle and groan for the duration of my time on stage. FML

Today, after struggling for hours to fall asleep with my husbands rather rattling snoring, I finally managed it... only to be rudely awakened an hour later by my husband elbowing me in the face in his sleep. FML

I'm not sure if OP's username would actually help the situation, but whatever works.

Maybe scare yourself? Like move your steering wheel like your about to crash, then stop, and go back to driving safely.

Sleeping while driving should scare op enough.

Drink a bottle of nightquil, not for the hiccups though. Just get really high for no particular reason.

I know the feeling, it's happened to me many times! It's always those deep hiccups that actually hurt, too! They're not easy to get rid of so, water won't do it!

I always get hiccups that feel like they're realigning my ribcage. Hiccups are a nightmare.

It is your diaphragm that causes hiccups, not your throat. So f-ing your throat will probably have no effect on the hiccups.

Whenever I get the hiccups, I always get them with heartburn. I just drink a glass of milk and that seems to help. Maybe that could work OP.

Actually drinking water does help if you drink from the opposite side of the glass (put mouth on farthest side from you and bend over). My 90 year old client taught me that. Works like a charm!
