There is no obvious reason why we get the hiccups from time to time. Hiccups are an involuntary contraction of the diaphragm (an extremely important muscle used for breathing that separates the chest cavity from the abdomen). Hiccups seemed to be related to eating or drinking too fast, being nervous or excited, or having an irritation in the stomach. In some VERY rare cases, the hidden cause of hiccups can be pleurisy (inflammation of the membrane lining of the lungs and chest cavity), pneumonia, some disorders of the stomach or esophagus, pancreatitis, alcoholism, or hepatitis. Any one of these conditions can bring irritation of the diaphragm or the phrenic nerves that give the diaphragm it's the irritation that causes the hiccups.
