Hiccups

Hiccups are very annoying. There are old sayings such as, Hold your breath in. Drink a glass of water upside down, or sugar water. Or as i've recently been told, have someone scare them out of you.
I was on an interesting site at http://www.didyouknow.cd/fastfacts/body.htm and found out the true cure for hiccups, and why its supposed to help you.

Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, the muscle that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and contract uncontrollably. With each contraction, air is pulled into the lungs very quickly, passes through the voice box, and then the epiglottis closes behind the rush of air, shaking the vocal chords, causing the "hic" sound. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream.
I haven't tried this yet, but want to try it and see if it actually works. Hope this helps.
