Beg to differ - trying to hold your breath during a laughing attack is
NOT a good idea. Drinking water during a laughing attack is a less good
idea. In either case, when the explosion comes, your laughing attack
will be famous. If you are capable of holding your breath or getting
liquid down your gullet, you're not having a laughing attack. I would
recommend instead forcing yourself to think of something seriously sad,
scary, dreadful or tragic. Loren is on the right track - the problem is
in the mind and can be addressed there, maybe. A real laughing attack
is no - well, laughing matter. It's more like a seizure.

The best cure for hiccups or a laughing attack was to be playing under Dr.
Revelli and have him stare at you.

Hi Tim!
I'm in high school, too, and have had a few embarassing experiences like
anyone...
Once, a lightbulb exploded and hit me on the head, giving me a headache for
the rest of a concert; another time I got so lost coming back from the
restroom that the concert was held up from starting for 10 minutes. Last
week I got the hiccups for the duration of a piece in an orchestra concert.
I didn't have any solos, luckily, but it was really unnerving. Has anyone
else had the hiccups? Do you know any quick fixes?
Have a happy day,
Kate
