Why Do We Hiccup?

| why hiccups will come |
Hiccups are an explosion of inspiratory activity. The muscles we use when we breathe are the intercostal muscles between the ribs and the diaphragm - a layer of muscle beneath the lungs.
Most simple cases of hiccups occur after eating or drinking too much or too quickly. The stomach, located just below the diaphragm, is distended and irritated. This will cause the contraction of the diaphragm, as during inspiration.
Why Hiccups Occur Frequently

Sometimes, hiccups occur because of a disruption of the nerve pathways from the brain to the muscles involved. This explains why hiccups can occur with changes in temperature or emotional situations. This is also the reason why a sudden shock can sometimes abolish an attack.
Persistent hiccups can mean problems in the brain, spinal cord, or any of the structures around the diaphragm or chest wall.
why hiccups come continuously:
Most cases of hiccups can be cured or resolved in a short time and rarely constitute a medical emergency. Consult your doctor if the hiccups last more than three hours or if it disturbs your eating habits or sleep patterns.
