A spasm of the diaphragm

When the diaphragm goes into a spasm, it is commonly referred to as a "hiccup." This involuntary contraction can occur due to various reasons, including irritation of the diaphragm, overeating, sudden temperature changes, or excitement. Hiccups typically resolve on their own but can sometimes persist for an extended period.
Hiccups happen when the breathing center activates the diaphragm to inhale air, while the epiglottis at this point gets the wrong signal and closes the windpipe/trachea
Hiccups are caused when you have contractions of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is what makes your lungs take in oxygen and expel it.
Hiccough or Hiccup.Singultus is the medical term meaning involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. The lay term is hiccup.
With the contraction of the diaphragm by spasm the inhaling of air is stopped suddenly the gap in the vocal cords reduce during the contraction of diaphragm which causes a hiccup and the process is repeated
The name "Hiccup" is often associated with the common involuntary spasm of the diaphragm, known as a hiccup. In the "How to Train Your Dragon" series, Hiccup is the name of the main character, who is known for his unique and unconventional methods.
