Reminds me of that guy who started drinking water upside down to train his swallow muscles and cure his chronic heartburn.
- pbronez 4mo agoDid it work?
- elric 4mo agoThere's some science on training those muscles, even without upside down drinking. "Dry swallowing" while on an incline seems to do the trick just fine. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9550520/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9550520/

- hikarudo 4mo agoIn Japan, I learned to drink water upside down to stop hiccups. Works for me, whereas drinking normally doesn't.
- dallen33 4mo agoHow do you get your body to be upside down?
- BenjiWiebe 4mo agoYou bend over and curl your head towards your body.
- brokenmachine 4mo agoI suck in a lungful of air, hold it in as long as I can, then when I can't hold it any more, suck in even more air. Basically take in as much air and hold as long as you can, and the extra gulps of air I think open up and "reset" your throat. Sometimes it takes a couple of goes but it has always worked for me to get rid of hiccups.
