Frequently asked questions and answers:
Question 1. What are hiccups?
Answer: This is a common condition characterized by the repeated involuntary
spasmodic contractions of the diaphragm, followed by sudden closure of the glottis,
which checks the inflow of air and produces the characteristic sounds.
Question 2. What causes hiccups?
Answer: Mild hiccups are most often a reaction to common digestive disturbances,
however, there are times when people hiccup for no apparent reason. No one knows
for sure why these episodes occur but experts do know that even infants hiccup and
the reflex occurs intermittently throughout life. Chronic or consistent hiccups can
be a sign of a more serious medical problem.
Question 3. What causes chronic or consistent hiccups?
Answer: Virtually anything that affects the head, chest, or abdomen such as kidney
failure, liver disease, cancer, nervous system problems, ulcers or heart attack can
cause hiccups. The contraction of the diaphragm is caused by stimulation of the
vagus nerve either by the brain or by irritation anywhere along the length of the
nerve. The vagus sends a signal to the phrenic nerve which leads to the diaphragm.
The diaphragm then spasms causing the hiccup.
Question 4. What drugs do doctors prescribe to stop hiccups?
Answer: Two of the most common drugs are prochlorperazine and chlorpromazine.
Intractable hiccups may require surgery to cut the link between the phrenic nerve
and the diaphragm, as a means of stopping the spasms.
