Why people have hiccups?? |
|
Answer» Explanation: HICCUPS often come after eating or drinking too much or too quickly. The stomach, which is directly below the diaphragm, becomes distended. This IRRITATES the diaphragm and CAUSES it to contract, as it does when we breathe in. Some causes of hiccups INCLUDE: Eating too quickly and swallowing air along with foods. Eating too much (fatty or spicy foods, in particular) or drinking too much (carbonated beverages or alcohol) can DISTEND the stomach and cause irritation of the diaphragm, which can cause hiccups. |
