so how do you get rid of a hiccup well first of  all what is a hiccup a hiccup is a problem with  

your diaphragm the diaphragm is a muscle that  helps you breathe so it contracts and relaxes  

so what happens with a hiccup is you’re getting  an intermittent contraction and it’s involuntary  

so you’re not controlling it there are certain  sensors that are in that diaphragm there’s oxygen  

receptors there’s receptors for carbon dioxide and  there’s all sorts of neurological receptors too so  

if you’re altering the amount of oxygen or co2  or the nerves it can cause a short circuiting  

and that can lead to a hiccup and  it can be triggered by excitement  

fear like you’re really scared laughter eating  too fast and i’m sure there’s many other things  

so the question is what can you do well number  one hiccup on purpose now what does that mean  

think about it normally a hiccup is involuntary so  if you voluntarily try to hiccup you’re going to  

find very quickly that you’re not going to have  hiccups anymore so what’s happening is you’re  

putting the diaphragm under your control again so  it’s no longer involuntary i mean this technique  

also sometimes can work for resting tremors which  is involuntary as well so if you could try to make  

your uh hand go back and forth on purpose  sometimes that can actually get rid of the  

the the tremor this also works for if you stutter  okay if you try to stutter on purpose it tends to  

get rid of the stuttering so you can apply this  to the hiccups as well you can actually start  

to slow down your breath and just calm things down  so you want to breathe in like four seconds slowly  

and you breathe in and then breathe out four  seconds and go back and forth because what’s  

happening is the autonomic nervous system is  now functioning so you are again causing your  

autonomic nervous system to do certain things  and this can help reset things so to speak number  

three and you probably already know this you can  drink a glass of water from the opposite side  

so that can help as well and the last thing is  you just want to calm down because it’s very rare  

that people get hiccups when they’re calm and  when they’re relaxed so go ahead and try this  

and let me know if it works hey before you go real  quick i have a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course i want  you to take it and here’s why here’s you  

here is your environment is  focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate  

and resist your environment much better by  strengthening your own immune system i put
