Hiccups or choking happens while eating or laughing due to various reasons. Mainly, this is triggered by the abrupt expansion of the stomach as a result of gulping air.
while many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing
It is very common to get hiccups after eating when pregnant.
even though i have no idea who Lucy is, she may be eating to much without stoping, or laughing for to long, or they just appear for no reason
I don't know why you would want to get hiccups, but you could eat spicy foods, have bubbly drinks, take in big breaths of air (laughing or crying works), and drinking/eating to quickly. Hope this helps. =D
Hiccups can be caused by a number of things: rapid eating, carbonated beverages, alcohol, dry breads, some spicy foods, and laughing. Intractable hiccups (severe and persistent hiccups) may be caused by a number of diseases and conditions including electrolyte imbalance. Physically, hiccups are caused by involuntary contractions of your diaphragm.
You can't. People often get the hiccups from eating or drinking too fast.
No, I have not experienced a choking incident while eating food.
You can't make someone get hiccupss.. The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. When you inhale, it pulls down to help pull air into the lungs. When you exhale, it pushes up to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated. When this happens, it pulls down in a jerky way, which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly. When the air rushing in hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup. Some things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or feeling nervous or excited. Almost all cases of the hiccups last only a few minutes. Some cases of the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual and it's usually a sign of another medical problem.
You swallow some air
you can get the hiccups by eating too fast !!
Choking.
The Greek philosopher Chrysippus is said to have died laughing at a donkey eating figs.
