What causes hiccups and what is way to stop them?

Answer 1

I really don't know what causes hicups but I do know how to get rid of them. First make sure that you can swallow. Then swallow 3 times in a row. If does not work, repeat the steps. Or you can say this. Imagine a pond, Imagine a lily pad, Imagine a frog on the lily pad, Imagine a hair on the frog's head Imagine a flea on the hair, Imagine the flea holding a banjo, Imagine the flea singing, my hicups are gone. They should be gone by now.

Answer 2

Hiccups may come when a person feels emotional, sudden temperature changes, or in shock.

It may also occur because of the over-eating or drinking water which in turn results in contraction of diaphragm.

It is also something to do with your muscles relaxing therefore causing you to hiccup.To get rid of them you could do several things for example: you could hold your breath for ten seconds and breath out for five, another way is by getting someone at some point when your not expecting it to make you jump, also some people say (although i don't think that this one works or is at all true) to drink water upside down.

CAUTION- THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA THOUGH BECAUSE IT COULD AND PROBABLY WOULD LEAD TO CHOCKING!!

Answer 3

Hiccups is basically an air bubble in the throat. The best way to stop hiccups is to grab a glass of water and try drinking from the edge furthest away upside down. This helps.
