HICCUPS

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU HICCUP?

Hiccups or hiccoughs are caused by sudden movements of your diaphragm, which is a large muscle beneath your chest. The diaphragm controls breathing, and the movement causes a sudden intake of air. This is a hiccup.

Hiccups can start for many reasons, but they usually soon go away. Sometimes the attack can last for a long time and it can be exhausting. In very rare cases it can last for years.
