Hiccups occur when the diaphragm, a muscle that helps with breathing, involuntarily contracts. This contraction is followed by a sudden closure of the vocal cords, which produces the characteristic "hic" sound. Common triggers can include eating too quickly, Carbonated Beverages, and sudden changes in temperature. While usually harmless, hiccups can sometimes persist and may require medical attention if they last for an extended period.
