If so, what causes it in your case? And how do you remedy it?
 
I get hiccups randomly at times. How I "cure" it is to hold my breath while drinking water. That method works for me.
 
Big gulps of water always work for me. Holding my breath works less efficiently for when I can't be assed to get a glass of water.
 
So the glass of water method is a fool-proof "cure" to most people?
 
I think the glass of water prevents you from breathing for a short period of time (because of the epiglottis covering your trachea) and thus may be able to reset the diaphragm.

I dunno, I'm trying to draw conclusions from this

I don't get any of that. I think you're a lot smarter than I am.
 
Don't say that, everyone has different levels of intelligence

Anyway, what I'm saying is that your diaphragm, the muscle beneath the lungs, helps with the breathing. When it gets messed up (I forgot what causes), it causes hiccups. When you drink, you are unable to breathe because an epiglottis covers your windpipe to prevent food from going down there. Since you can't breathe when you're drinking, what I'm thinking is that it gives your diaphragm a chance to reset and rest.

I might be wrong, but that's my hypothesis there.

Thank you I will try that next time
 
The question is invalid, as most people get the hiccups within their lifetime

Anyway I drink water to stop it, sometimes a spoonful of sugar.
