How to Stop and Prevent Hiccups
There are many home remedies for stopping hiccups, such as holding your breath, drinking a glass of water, or breathing into a paper bag. These methods work by affecting the nerves that control the diaphragm, helping to reset its rhythm. Although hiccups are usually harmless, persistent hiccups lasting more than 48 hours may indicate an underlying medical condition and require medical attention. While scientists do not fully understand why hiccups occur, they believe they may be a leftover reflex from early human evolution. Shutdown123
