What Causes Hiccups / Hiccoughs ?

Hiccups or hiccoughs are caused by contraction on your diaphragm or in layman’s term contraction of our breathing muscle.  It is triggered when we eat so fast that we swallow air and can irritate the diaphragm and produce the hic sound.  When we eat, our muscle in the diaphragm is at work.  It uses oxygen and restores carbon dioxide.  While eating we cause our breathing to stop and thus disallow new oxygen to pass through our diaphragm and that could cause the irritation in the throat.
