Hiccups Part 2 (Teacher: Michael)
I've heard people say
Select
that
a
the
Select
that
a
the
hiccups sufferer should try holding his breath. And I've heard old wives tales which involve tickling
Select
that
a
the
sufferer's nose.
One man in America, who had hiccupped over 100 million times without stopping, was sent thousands of suggestions to help him stop
Select
that
a
the
habit.
Some of them from 'old wives'. Some of them from doctors.
None of them worked.
Then he tried praying to St Jude,
Select
that
a
the
patron saint of lost causes, and
Select
that
a
the
did
Select
that
a
the
trick.
Personally, I think
Select
that
a
the
two remedies most likely to do
Select
that
a
the
trick are to first try breathing in and out of
Select
that
a
the
brown paper bag; and second, to try swallowing
Select
that
a
the
teaspoonful of granulated sugar.
The raw sugar remedy probably works by scraping against
Select
that
a
the
back of
Select
that
a
the
throat and stimulating
Select
that
a
the
nerve to suppress
Select
that
a
the
hiccups.
Breathing in and out of
Select
that
a
the
paper bag probably works because it alters
Select
that
a
the
concentration of carbon dioxide breathed in.
