What are Hick-ups?!


Question:

What are Hick-ups?

what part of body are they from
what causes them


Answers:

there's a muscle that runs along your trachea and esophagus. when you hiccup, it's having spasms. no one knows why or how to stop them for sure. there are various folk remedies, though. stopping oxygen from getting to that muscle stops them most often, but not always. that's why most remedies involve closing your mouth or holding your breath.
