The : The most common reasons for short-term hiccups are: - eating too much - drinking carbonated drinks such as soda - drinking too much alcohol - anxiety and stress - sudden temperature changes a few remedies you can try are breathing into a paper bag, sipping or gargling ice water, and holding your breath. If your hiccups are lasting more than 48 hours (which is fairly uncommon) you should see a doctor because they could be caused by: - damage to the phrenic or vagus nerves (the nerves that control the diaphragm and control hiccups) - central nervous system disorder such as stroke, meningitis, or traumatic brain injury - drugs or metabolic disorders such as barbituates, diabetes, or kidney failure.
