Question 9

why do we get hiccups?

Accepted Answer

Hiccups!: Hiccups are caused from the frenic  nerve that exits from the spinal column in the neck and travels down to the diaphragm along side of the esophagus. This makes this nerve the longest exposed nerve inside our body. As we eat or drink this nerve gets "bumped" by the esophagus  causing it to stimulate the diaphragm to contract. It is common in babies; the nerve is still developing. More sensitive.
