Hiccups

When you eat food in a hurry, some food escapes and goes into the windpipe. Our body reaction to take the food out from there is to hiccup or choke.

asthma or your diafram, might be infected with a virus, see your doctor immediately.

There is no way to permanently solve the hiccups. However, a great cure is to place a paper towel over a cup of water and take a few sips out of the cup. If the hiccups are still present, take a few more sips to ensure the hiccups will be gone.

The heart does not actually stop beating during hiccups; rather, the sensation may be perceived as such due to the simultaneous contractions of the diaphragm and the vagus nerve's stimulation. Hiccups can cause brief interruptions in breathing, which might create a feeling of lightheadedness or an altered heart rhythm. However, the heart continues to pump blood throughout this reflex action. Overall, it’s a temporary response and not a cessation of heart function.

no it's not

No, hiccups will not affect your health at all. Below your lungs, there is a muscle called the diaphragm. if this muscle gets irritated it will move up and down in a jerky motion. what we call hiccups.

it might be serious if your dog is having hiccups especially if 3 years old or up , it can be having a serious heart problem that's what came out with my bullmastiff doesnt seems like important at first and i waited thinking its normal for 2 months or so but came out he has an enlarged heart so if you are suspicious and your dog is not a pupy any more please go get a blood test and x ray for his lungs and heart be sure there is no heart enlargement or heartworms.

I don't freaking know...

Hiccups are triggered in infants just as they are in adults. A sudden contraction located in the diaphragm occurs and irration ensues. Hiccups have nothing to do with breathing.

I'm a doctor, symptoms of polyritous see your local gp and ask all about it

Your heart is telling you that you arent treating it well. you need to stop getting stressed out, start exercising, consume enough protein and always negate the carbohydrates. do some research on natural immune system boosters.

Well.. I'm not entirely sure, as I've never had a mouse, but I've had hamsters. And one of them got hiccups. =o Also, when you feed them peanut butter, they like retract their eyes in and out like frogs do when they eat something bigger than them. I wouldn't sugest doing it though because they might choke.

What we've learned? Give your hamster peanut butter in small, small amounts.

Its tasting vinegar not actually drinking it.

However, its thought that one tea spoon of vinegar tells the vagus nerve that communicates with the stomach that its another sensation to stop what's its doing and focus on the sensation of the bitter liquid. The vagus nerve is a cranial nerve that innervates the stomach and conveys sensory information about the body's organs to the brain. When distracted by overwhelming information of another sort i.e the vinegars taste, it basically tells the brain that something more important has come up and the hiccuping should probably be stopped.

There are a number of other things you can try yourself that may help to stop your hiccups. for instance

tasting vinegar

holding your breath for a short period

sipping ice-cold water

biting on a lemon

pulling your knees up to your chest

leaning forward to compress your chest

swallowing granulated sugar

breathing into a paper bag (never place a bag over your head)

ive heard you can feel it but im just a kid

Apparantly, the world record of hiccuping is 69 years.

hormonal changes triggers hiccups in the body

The stress is on the first syllable, i.e., HIC-cup.

no they do not its probably because you are inhaling to much

*Actually there have been several cases where smoking can be a trigger for hiccups. It has been hypothesized that the nicotine, which acts as both a relaxant to some nerves and a stimulant to others, can be the cause of the hiccups. It has also been hypothesized that the carbon dioxide inhaled while smoking causes a lack of oxygen in the lungs, causing the body to instinctively inhale rapid amounts of oxygen, resulting in the hiccup. It has been a complaint of many smokers on my different internet forums; far too many to be considered a coincidence.

Fetal hiccups feel like gentle, rhythmic kicking or taps in the same area for a few seconds up to many minutes. The further along a woman gets in her pregnancy the stronger the hiccups become until you can see the belly jump where the hiccups are originating.

Hiccups are not actually caused by drinking too much water, and drinking water very slowly or holding your breath for ten seconds, drinking for ten seconds and then holding your breath again for ten seconds actually helps to get rid of them;something to do with calming the flow of air through your lungs helps to slow down and eventually stop the hiccups. hope this helps!

you tell me

i think its this -

tensing your stomach and kind of gasping for air at the same time..

this is probably a thing that you should try and imitate by watching videos.

they drink lot of water

No

Oh Son of a half-troll!
