[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 172904"] I have the hiccup cure. difficult child gets them all the time. Always has - since before birth. 1. Sit down and do a few deep, slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth. Let your body relax. (difficult child and I sit Indian style with our hands turned up on our knees - think of a yoga pose type thing - but as long as you're comfortable and relaxed, that's what counts.) 2. Take another deep, slow breath and this time hold it. While you hold your breath, relax your body except for your chest. Make sure your lungs are really full and you're kind of pushing them out a little. 3. Hold the breath until it starts to become uncomfortable (hint: you should NOT be feeling like you're going to pass out) and then slowly exhale through your mouth. (A controlled exhale - not all the air just gasping out.) 4. Do a few more deep, slow breaths in through your nose and out through your mouth while keeping your body relax. You might have to do it more than once - especially if you're not very relaxed. It works every time for me and for difficult child. This is also what I tell her to do when her anxiety kicks up. I tell her to do her hiccup breathing. She's been doing this since she was young enough to mimick behavior and follow directions. [/QUOTE]
