The diaphragm, a muscle that aids in breathing, contracts involuntarily when you have hiccups. The result is a sharp intake of breath followed by a rapid closing of the vocal cords, creating the “hic” sound. Although the exact cause is still unknown, a couple of things, including eating too rapidly, carbonated beverages, and abrupt temperature changes, might induce it.
