What causes hiccups?

Subjects > Health (Search)

THEY'RE caused when the diaphragm - the major muscle involved in breathing - goes into spasm. It can be triggered by eating too fast, or having fatty foods that irritate the diaphragm.
WHAT YOU CAN DO: There are lots of popular remedies, including experiencing a shock, holding your tongue with your thumb and index finger and gently pulling it forward, and swallowing a small amount of ice. Deep breathing and doing something to take your mind off it can also work.

WHEN TO WORRY: "Hiccups aren't dangerous, but they can become very uncomfortable if they persist," says Dr Vandenburg. "Seek medical advice if a child has hiccups for more than an hour." Read 29 times - make a comment
