A member asked:

How come i get hiccups if i drink something when i'm stressed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Air swallowing: It is likely that you're swallowing air when you are stressed. I would recommend that you see a psychologist to help you deal with your stress level. Drinking through a straw instead of gulping by drinking through a normal glass may help.
