YES
Here are three remedies to stop hiccups. They usually work instantly. Try them and see which works for you.
1. Take three deep breaths, and on the third breath hold it as long as you can. This usually works instantly for me.
2. Another technique is to do the above, and then swallow a couple of times while still holding your breath.
3. Here is a technique that my grandmother gave me. Hold a paper bag over your mouth and nose, and breathe in and out forcefully 10 times. You to inhale your own carbon dioxide, which relaxes the nerves around the diaphragm.
