What are hiccups? How do you get rid of them? Why do you get Hiccups? Hiccups are simply caused by lack of oxygen getting to the brain. You may have been laughing too much, eating too fast or not breathing properly. Hiccups happen when the diaphragm tightens up. (The diaphragm is a muscle used in breathing.) How do I get rid of my Hiccups? Drink a half of glass of water very slowly for about 1 minute, or untill the glass is finished. Remember to make sure you breath carefully and dont move around while you're doing it. Just stay in one place. Works like a charm! Written by CJ H, 2003. Last updated Apr 2007. |
