What causes hic-ups?

Re: Scholars of the Org
It's air bouncing off a diaphragm in your throat or something, that's closed itself incorrectly.
That's what I think it is anyway, I could just Wikipedia, but so could you. |

Well I haven't had a sudden shock or eaten anything yet but I have them.With regard to the diaphragm answer why,what causes it.
I can't find a medically sound answer. |

Re: Scholars of the Org
Hic-cups are caused by your diaphragm spasm-ing same as any other muscle spasm just it happens to be inside and makes your lungs do funny things.

I get hiccups from eating McDonalds (not had one for a while, honest) but when I wolf a burger & then sip a fizzy drink, I hiccup (pretty much every time). I think it's something to do with trapped air. As an aside, my 4 year old calls them 'pick ups' and often exclaims 'Daddy, I've got pick-ups' then tries to convince me he has hiccups by quickly saying 'pick-up' repeatedly. |
