Hiccups are a spasms in the diaphragm!. The only thing you need to do is take slow and even breaths for 60 seconds!. This will stop them!. If you don't want to wait a minute, you can try to take 10 sips of liquid in a row without taking a breath!.!. this usually works also!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hiccups are an unintentional contraction of the diaphragm which is the muscle that separates the chest from the stomach!.
This contraction causes the vocal chords to close briefly, making the sound of a hiccup!.

Things that trigger hiccups are eating large meals; drinking carbonated drinks; smoking; drinking alcohol; change in temperature; swallowing air; sudden excitement or emotion stress!.

Home remedies: Swallow a dry tsp of sugar!.
Hold breath for count of 10;
Breathe into bag;
Drink very cold water;
Drink water from top of glass!.

Hiccups are the result of an action the body takes to protect itself!. Hiccups can start because hot food has irritated the phrenic nerve near the esophagus, or when gas in the stomach presses upward against the diaphragm!. The diaphragm separates the chest from the stomach!. The diaphragm tightens and pulls air into the lungs!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because of something eatable is stuck in our throut but it's a little way under where the mouth of the esophagus is located!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Sometime it's a mysteryWww@Answer-Health@Com
