Hiccups

| Publisher: |
Better Health Channel
|
| Description: |
Hiccups, or hiccoughs, are involuntary sounds made by spasms of the diaphragm. They are usually harmless and resolve by themselves after a few minutes. Prolonged hiccups that last for days or weeks may indicate an underlying disorder which needs investigation. Certain drugs, including epilepsy medications, can make a person more prone to hiccups. Triggers for hiccups may include eating food too quickly, hot or spicy foods, indigestion, fizzy drinks, stress and pregnancy.
