Hiccups are caused by involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle. They can be triggered by various factors such as eating too quickly, consuming Carbonated Beverages, or sudden changes in temperature. Typically, hiccups go away on their own, but holding your breath, sipping cold water, or breathing into a paper bag can help alleviate them.
