❓What causes hiccups, is it a health hazard?
🔸Hiccup is a spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm. To stop hiccups, you need to take a paper bag and breathe in it for a while. Then the level of carbon dioxide in the blood increases, which reduces diaphragmatic spasm (contraction).
🗣Breathing also helps stop hiccups.
🔹Long-term (more than 2 days) and difficult-to-treat (more than a month) hiccups can affect the nervous system (stroke, brain injury, tumor), psychiatry (stress), respiratory tract (pneumonia, asthma)) or gastrointestinal indicates diseases of the intestinal tract.
