Hiccups happen when your tummy gets a little surprise! 🎉 It's like a tiny jump inside your belly that makes a funny sound "hic!"
Sometimes, when you eat too fast or laugh a lot, your tummy gets excited and starts hiccuping. It's normal and usually goes away quickly!
Hiccups are caused by your diaphragm — a muscle under your lungs — suddenly squeezing. 🤪 When it moves in a funny way, it makes you go "hic!"
Eating too fast, drinking fizzy drinks, or getting excited can irritate the diaphragm. But don’t worry! Hiccups usually stop on their own.
Fun trick: Try holding your breath or drinking water slowly to stop hiccups!
Hiccups are involuntary spasms of the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle below your lungs. 🧠 When it contracts suddenly, your vocal cords snap shut, creating the "hic" sound.
Causes: Eating too quickly, carbonated drinks, sudden excitement, or even temperature changes can trigger hiccups. Rarely, they signal health issues.
How to stop them: Breathing techniques (holding breath), drinking cold water, or stimulating the vagus nerve (e.g., swallowing sugar) can help.
