∙ 14y agoHiccups are not actually caused by drinking too much water, and drinking water very slowly or holding your breath for ten seconds, drinking for ten seconds and then holding your breath again for ten seconds actually helps to get rid of them;something to do with calming the flow of air through your lungs helps to slow down and eventually stop the hiccups. hope this helps!

∙ 14y agoWater is not bad when having hiccups, because you can do without drinking water. But too much of water may increase its rate.
Hiccups are usually caused by a lack of oxygen to the diaphragm. Hiccups are hard to get rid of once they start. Many people might get the hiccups just by eating a piece of bread without drinking water or another liquid.
Hiccups are caused by a sudden jerk in your diaphragm that causes you to breath in air very quickly. Hiccups are annoying and can sometimes be hard to get rid of. Here is a simple, but effective way to get rid of them: Take a glass of water and drink 14 (or how ever many you can do) gulps of the water without breathing. Once you are finished do not talk. Relax for several minutes taking in deep, slow breaths. I hope this helps! :)
