A member asked:
Could my friend's lung burst from having intense hiccups?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is very uncommon but yes, it may happen. On the other hand, hiccups which are produced by the diaphragmatic nerve, may mean that something has already happened with your friend's lung. If he is short of breath or is having pain, get him checked!
