Hiccups happen when the diaphragm, the muscle that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and contract uncontrollably. With each contraction, air is pulled into the lungs very quickly, passes through the voice box, and then the epiglottis closes behind the rush of air, shaking the vocal chords, causing the "hic" sound. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream.
 
60% of the time, i am right 100% of the time.
 
To add to the discussion of hiccups... both myself and my father both get the hiccups after eating food with hot sauce on it. There has to be a substantial amount, but that's what causes our hiccups. Any explanations?
 
Intresting thread this is!
