Most everyone has experienced hiccups at some point in their life. This normal reflex occurs when the diaphragm muscles in the lower part of the chest go into spasm. The resulting rapid movement of the chest is harmless but can be annoying, and can last anywhere from a few minutes to as much as an hour. If you suffer from recurring or chronic hiccups, try monitoring your food and beverage intake: Eating too quickly (or too much) and drinking carbonated or alcoholic beverages can cause hiccups. Stress, smoking and swallowing large amounts of air can also be factors. If your hiccups last more than a few days, or recur frequently, see your physician to rule out an underlying medical condition.
