Do you know why we hiccup?

A hiccup is an involuntary contraction (myoclonic jerk) of the diaphragm that may repeat several times per minute. In medicine, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus, Latin for the act of catching one's breath while sobbing.The hiccup is an involuntary action involving a reflex arc.Once triggered, the reflex causes a strong contraction of the diaphragm followed about 0.25 seconds later by closure of the vocal cords, which results in the classic "hic" sound

hahaha well actually it's because daw we lack CO2 :) kaya pag hinold yung breath we trap the CO2 inside :)

Something about the diaphragm. Pinaliwanag na sakin to di lang ako nakikinig.

I learned why but I forget 😶

I think carbon dioxide does something to change the diaphragm 🤓

Hiccups are a disruption of our natural breathing patterns. Holding one's breath, taking deep breaths (or drinking water where we also hold our breath) is kind of like a reset of those natural patterns.
