Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The diaphragm is the muscle that separates your chest from your stomach area and plays an important role in breathing. This spasm causes your vocal cords to close briefly, producing a “hic” sound. Hiccups are repeated spasms or sudden movements of the diaphragm that you can’t control.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hiccups, or hiccoughs, are involuntary sounds made by spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a large sheet of muscle slung beneath the lungs that, together with the intercostal muscles, causes us to breathe.

Detailed explanation-3: -To stretch your diaphragm muscle, take a deep breath and hold it for a count of 10. Without letting that breath go, take another deep breath and hold it for a count of 10. Without letting that breath go, take one more deep breath and hold it for a count of 10.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lie down on your back and place pillows below your knees to raise them. Put one hand on your chest and the other on your lower rib cage so you feel your diaphragm. Breathe in slowly so that your stomach moves up while the hand on your chest remains as still as possible.
