What makes people hiccup ?
Question:
Answers:
The part to blame is your diaphragm. This is a dome-shaped muscle at the bottom of your chest, and all hiccups start here.
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, 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.
Some things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much, an irritation in the stomach or the throat, or feeling nervous or excited. Almost all cases of the hiccups last only a few minutes. Some cases of the hiccups can last for days or weeks, but this is very unusual, and it's usually a sign of another medical problem.
Spasms of their diaphragm (the muscle at the base of the lungs that helps control our breathing)
A sheet of muscle between your lungs & stomach going into spasm.
It's an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm.
If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
-eating too fast
-laughing/crying too hard

A hiccup is when your Diaphragm is out of synchronization, when you relax it will synchronize it’s self again
