Hiccups

Hey, gonna talk about hiccups cuz it's common and I guess mostly people don't know how to handle it? Well yea, I don't know. And then I came across a short article about it, and uh.... yea, lemme just copy paste right here.


Hiccups occur when the diaphragm, the muscle that controls our breathing, becomes irritated and start to spasm and contract uncontrollably. With each contraction, air is pulled into the lungs very quickly, passes through the voice box, and then the epiglottis closes behind the rush of air, shaking the vocal chords, causing the "hic" sound. The irritation can be caused by rapid eating, emotional stress and even some diseases. The best cure? Breathing into a paper bag. This calms the diaphragm by increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in your bloodstream.


I think it's important for us to acknowledge the best cure. So, there you go! :)
