The food may be dry, the bite too large or you may have been talking while trying to swallow. If it is a regular instance, keep a diary of what you were trying to eat, the time and the absence or presence of hiccups. It should help you narrow down the issue. If it doesn't give you a hint, take the diary to your doctor visit.

How do you get hiccups?

You get hiccups when your diaphragm gets irritated. Your diaphragm is located below your lungs and helps you breathe.

If you want to get the hiccups, try swallowing a lot of air. Or, try eating very fast without fully swallowing your food.

Is hiccups useful to your body?

Hiccups are only when the diapharm (a muscel that controls your lungs when you breath. Like when ever you breath in, your diapharm flexes and causes your lungs the move up and become filled with air.) gets out of wack and instead of going up it goes down when you breath. I learned this in 8th grade so some things may be incorrect, but no they're not bad for your health.
