Q: Several times a year there's a day where hiccups come and go all day. A: Hiccups usually means there are bubbles of air inside your stomach trying to get out. The best way is after you eat, drink a whole glass of water. Drink water usually will help but it may not cure. It always work for me to drink water during hiccups.
Hiccups are caused by a sudden contraction of your diaphragm. The diaphragm is a muscle under your lungs that helps you breathe in. The top of your windpipe (your glottis) closes immediately after your diaphragm contracts which makes the typical 'hic' sound. A hiccup is an automatic action of the body that you can't control (a reflex).
