Hiccups are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm muscle. The diaphragm muscle is a large muscle in your abdomen that plays a large role in breathing. With each contraction of the diaphragm, the vocal cords close causing the \u201chic\u201d sound. Hiccups can be caused by alcoholic or carbonated beverages, sudden excitement, or large meals. Rarely, hiccups can be a sign of an underlying medical condition. Most of the time, hiccups only last for minutes, but occasionally hiccups may last for days or weeks, even months in rare cases. In these cases, the condition may cause weight loss and exhaustion. Hiccups lasting more than 48 hours may be caused by nerve damage, central nervous system disorders, or metabolic disorders and drugs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
