One of the most popular and well-known options for getting rid of the hiccups is to get a sudden shock or surprise. This works because it causes a sudden rush of stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. That in turn causes an increase in your heart rate and a sudden inhalation of air.

All this means that you can instantly get back control of your breathing in many cases.
