I just got over
the worst case of hiccups I have had in my life. My side is still tender and I feel like my ears want to pop, but they just can’t.
It is annoying and they lasted
for about five hours.
For a moment I thought that I was going to have to go to the emergency room. Though I think they would have just laughed at me and gave me a paper bag to breath into.
Which did not work.
My spasms (hiccups are spasms right?) would come in waves of various intensity. Usually lasting about ten minutes.
I tried everything.
- The trick with putting fingers in your ear and drinking water only made me feel sick
- Then I tried to tickle the roof of my mouth with q-tip. Nope, it just felt weird and didn’t do anything.
- Both peanut butter and the sugar trick were no good
- Bags just made me feel light headed.
The only reason why I contemplated the ER was because I think I felt so bad from trying to treat the hiccups.
Now, let’s just hope they stay gone.
I had horror visions of that girl that had them for months.
I don’t even know how that is possible.
