How do you get hiccups?
You get hiccups when your diaphragm gets irritated. Your diaphragm is located below your lungs and helps you breathe. It normally pulls down when you breathe in, but when you get the hiccups it pulls down in a jerky manner. When the air reaches your voice box; you'll hear a hiccup! If you want to get the hiccups, try swallowing a lot of air. Or, try eating very fast without fully swallowing your food.
Why am i having random single hiccups?
If you have had the hiccups, without rest, for 3 weeks, then you belong in a Doctor's office or even an emergency room! You could have an infection. You would need some antibiotics along with whatever other medication the doctor deems necessary. While it seems like a mundane symptom, the hiccups are actually a good indicator- when they are occurring for more than 2 hours without stopping, of some type of infection in the body. Even if there has been a "break" in your hiccups, I would recommend visiting or at least calling your doctor or clinic- ER, etc- to consult about why you would have hiccups for 21 days (even , as I said, if it is "on again off again") They will advise you! Hiccups usually indicate indigestion or a gas bubble of some sort. This is why this could be an indicator of an infection or issue in your digestive system.

Does doing a handstand help to stop hiccups?
Well, the answer to your question is that holding your breath does not stop hiccups. In fact, pouring yourself a drink of anything, really, and bending your neck down, then drinking it, stops them. I'm laughing at this answer, because as you drink a whole glass of "anything, really", whether your neck is bent down, up, or sideways ... unless you are holding your breath while you do so, it doesn't work. if you are drinking AND breathing, that's called "sipping", and it does nothing to help your hiccups. but if you are NOT drinking anything, but just taking the biggest breath you can take and then holding it as long as you can, the hiccups go away. it may take more than one try ...but it works. EVERY TIME. i'm no doc, but i just did it right now, this very second.it took 2 tries, but it works. EVERY TIME, with drinking, without drinking, with my neck holding ANY way whatsoever ...it's all about the breath, and holding it does the trick. i've heard, "eat a spoonful of sugar", "drink vinegar" "drink a glass of water upside down" lay on your side and whistle dixe out your butt as hard as you can (ok, that last i just made up to press the POINT =) ... that no matter WHAT remedy you go for ...it's the holding your breath THRU that exercise that does the trick. i mean, really, when was the last time you whistled dixie out your tuckas without holding your breath WHILE you were doing it, hmm? EXACTLY. hold your breath. hold it long, hold it strong, just do it. it works. they WILL go away. =]
