Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Usually the hiccups come on suddenly, with an intermittent rhythm. It can interfere with activities and even be uncomfortable when talking.
Doctor Farhan via account TikTok @farhanzubedi explained that hiccups are a condition in which the diaphragm, the muscle that separates the stomach region from the chest region, experiences spasms or sudden movements that cannot be controlled.
This movement causes the vocal cords to suddenly close, causing a hiccup accompanied by a sound.
The hiccup process, reported by Medical NewsToday, occurs when people inhale, the diaphragm is pulled into the lungs.
When exhaling, the diaphragm pushes up to expel air. When a person has hiccups, the diaphragm is depressed, drawing in air between breaths.
After that, the throat will close for a while to prevent more air from entering the lungs. Due to this process, a distinctive “hic” sound appears.
Hiccups are usually harmless and go away on their own. Triggers are often hiccups from carbonated drinks, eating too much or too quickly, sudden changes in temperature, someone under great emotional stress, or also swallowing air when someone chews chewing gum. -gum and also smokes.
Although hiccups stop on their own, try these traditional methods as they stop hiccups faster.
