Detailed explanation-1: -Hiccups are repeated spasms or sudden movements of the diaphragm that you can’t control. The diaphragm is the muscle that separates your chest from your stomach area and plays an important role in breathing. A spasm in your diaphragm causes your vocal cords to suddenly close, producing a “hic” sound.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Hiccups, or a synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF) as it is scientifically known is the involuntary contraction (or spasm) of the diaphragm muscle, usually on the left side in 80 percent of cases. When this muscle spasms, it snaps your vocal cords shut and produces that telltale squeak.
Detailed explanation-3: -Certain types of trauma can cause a diaphragmatic tear. This is a serious condition called diaphragmatic rupture, and a CT scan or thoracoscopy can diagnose it. Symptoms include: Abdominal pain, shortness of breath, chest or shoulder pain, cough, heart palpitations, nausea, vomiting.
