Inverted hiccups, also known as "singultus inversus," are a rare condition in which the diaphragm contracts in a way that causes a person to inhale sharply instead of exhaling, leading to a sudden intake of breath rather than the typical hiccup sound. This condition can be caused by various factors, such as certain medical conditions affecting diaphragm control or nerve irritation. Unlike regular hiccups, inverted hiccups are less common and may not always be well understood in terms of their underlying mechanisms. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause or employing relaxation techniques.
