A SIMPLE DISCOMFORT SCIENCE CANNOT EXPLAIN

Hiccups are something we encounter often much to our annoyance. But what makes hiccups even more annoying is the fact that scientists can’t figure out why we do it. Hiccups happen when the diaphragm inhales air quickly and they tend to happen if we eat or drink too fast. However, doctors and scientists can’t figure out why they happen as they don’t contribute to any survival tactics and they can’t explain the biological response. Not only can we not figure out hiccups but figuring out how to stop them can be just as complicated.
