Why Do We Get Hiccups?
Ever wondered why hiccups happen?
Hiccups occur when the diaphragm suddenly contracts involuntarily, followed by the quick closing of the vocal cords, which creates the familiar βhicβ sound.
Most hiccups are harmless and usually go away on their own. However, frequent or long-lasting hiccups may sometimes need medical attention.
