Hiccups

Hiccups (hiccough, singultus or synchronous diaphragmatic flutter) are short, sharp intakes of air caused by an involuntary spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm (the muscle at the base of the lungs). The abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, making a "hic" sound. They usually occur several times per minute. In most cases hiccups stop within a few minutes to a few hours. If they continue longer, they should be investigated as they can indicate other illnesses
