Whats makes us hiccup?!
Question:
Whats makes us hiccup?
Scientific answers only please!
Answers:
The diaphragm almost always works perfectly. When you inhale, it pulls down to help pull air into the lungs. When you exhale, it pushes up to help push air out of the lungs. But sometimes the diaphragm becomes irritated. When this happens, it pulls down in a jerky way (spasms), which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly. When the air rushing in hits your voice box, you're left with a big hiccup.
People sometimes tell you to drink water or hold ur breath and count backwards. What this is doing is just distracting us from the spasm of the diaphragm.
And that is why we hiccup.
