because I know how painful prolonged hicoughing can be. But nothing seems to work for me.
I just try to relax (I know, not easy) and breathe slowly, regularly and both inhale and exhale deeply.
Eventually they go, but for a couple of days can return without warning.
I think the longest they've lasted so far is about 50 hours. And no, they didn't stop while I slept, I just didn't sleep an awful lot.
A colleague complaining that they were really irritating him didn't help either. He didn't take me up on my offer to hit him in the chest with a brick, each time I hiccoughed, so that he could share the full experience. |
