A nice rectal massage is the way to go, because Science.
I like the fact this is published in the Annals of Emergency Medicine.
Fesmire FM (1988) Termination of intractable hiccups with digital rectal massage. Annals of Emergency Medicine, 17, 872.
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0196064488805948
To the Editor:
I read with interest the case report by Roberge et al and
would like to report a related phenomenon.
A 27-year-old man presented to the emergency department
complaining of intractable hiccups during the preceding
72 hours. The patient had a lifelong history of frequent
episodes of hiccuping; however, the longest prior episode
was two hours, and all previous episodes had resolved spontaneously.
The patient's medical history was remarkable
only for occasional beer consumption. He denied cigarette
smoking and the use of any prescription, over-the-counter,
or illicit drugs. Physical examination on presentation revealed
a healthy-appearing muscular man hiccuping at a frequency
of approximately 30 per minute. Blood pressure was
115/80 mm Hg; pulse, 72; respirations, 18; and temperature,
37 C. Examination of the pharynx revealed no abnormalities.
Lungs were clear and cardiac examination was normal.
Examination of the abdomen revealed no masses or
hepatosplenomegaty.
Initially, gagging and tongue pulling maneuvers were attempted
with no change in symptomatolog~. Valsalva maneuvers,
carotid sinus massage, and digital eyeball compression
all were attempted with a resulting decrease in the
frequency of the hiccups to 15 per minute during the maneuvers,
but with a prompt return to the original frequency
following cessation of the maneuvers. Digital rectal massage
was then attempted using a slow circumferential motion.
The frequency of hiccups immediately began to slow,
with a termination of all hiccups within 30 seconds. There
was no recurrence of the hiccups during the next 30 minutes
and the patient was discharged without further
workup.
Hiccups result from a sudden reflex spasm of the diaphragm
and accessory inspiratory muscles followed by an
abrupt glottic closure. 1 The reflex serves no known purpose,
and the list of reported cures is almost as long as the list of
causes. 1-5 The reflex center is located in the spinal cord be-
160/872
tween the third and fifth cervical segment with the afferent
limb mediated by the vagus nerve and the efferent limb by
the phrenic nerve.t An increase in the vagal tone is the proposed
mechanism for the success of carotid sinus massage,
digital eyeball pressure, Valsalva maneuver, and pharyngeal
stimulation.~,6-8 The rectum is supplied with an abundance
of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves, 6 and theoretically
digital rectal massage would lead to increased
vagal tone and potential termination of hiccups.
Reported is the first case of digital rectal massage employed
for the termination of intractable hiccups. It should
be considered in cases of intractable hiccups prior to preceding
with pharmacologic agents |  | | |

Best one I heard of was a girl complaining of said problem. A mate told her to stand up, close her eyes and hold one hand in the other behind her back. He then went and flopped his old fella into her open palm.
It worked.
You may prefer to keep the hiccups. [Post edited 29 Jan 2016 7:40]

A desert spoon of malt vinegar works every time, trust me. The acid contracts the muscles in the throat and immediate your hic-cups are cured. |  |

For gods sake, what are you thinking !
Don't give him an easy solution.
Leave him thinking he's got no alternative other than 20 minutes of high intensity rimming. | | | |

Last season's highlights DVD should be enough of a shock to cure your hiccups.
Don't continue to watch it after your problem is solved or might find another one to take its place.Something like panic attacks or depression will be much worse. |  | | |
