Growing up, once any of us started having hiccups,mum would call out,’Bring
for him’. Once you drank it, the hiccups stopped
Well,the WATER didn’t stop the HICCUP
What stopped it then?
Before I say, let me tell you a few things about HICCUPS
Though annoying,HICCUPS are a common part of life. It involves repeated spasms/sudden movements of the diaphragm that you can’t control.
The diaphragm is the muscle separating your chest from your stomach area & plays a big role in breathing.
The spasms causes the ‘HIC’ sound.
CAUSES
– Eating too much
– Taking excess alcohol/soft drinks
– Getting overexcited/anxious/stressed emotionally
– Sudden stomach temperature changes
– Swallowing air eg smoking,chewing gum
Hiccups from the above last <48hrs. Any hiccup >this might be from an underlying medical issue.
For most of us,hiccup clears BY ITSELF after some mins,WATER OR NOT!
Most of the home remedies we do like drinking
