But have you ever wondered why they occur? A hiccup is a sudden spasm of the muscle at the base of the lungs called diaphragm which is immediately followed by the sudden closure of the vocal cords. This produces a characteristic &#8216;hic&#8217; sound. Hiccups that begin suddenly with no apparent reason and last usually for few minutes (self-limiting) are very common. Sometimes it may be due to certain underlying medical conditions but it is not quite common. Hiccups are not only confined to the adults but are also observed in infants and children.
