Hiccups Causes
Many conditions are associated with hiccups, but none has been shown to be the cause of hiccups.
If you eat too fast, you can swallow air along with your food and end up with a case of the hiccups.
Any other practices that might irritate the diaphragm such as eating too much (especially fatty foods) or drinking too much (drunk people hiccup) can make you prone to having hiccups.
In these instances, your stomach, which sits on top of the diaphragm, is distended or stretched. Because they occur in relation to eating and drinking, hiccups are sometimes thought to be a reflex to protect you from choking.

Air gets trapped under the diaphram & causes spasms. Our voices bring out the air & produce sound. Being thirsty can bring on the hiccups. They can come from eating too fast, drinking soda & burping too.

a hiccup is caused from your diaphram spasming, the spasm jolts your lungs, making you have that sudden little gasp of air. i am not 100% sure how it all starts but i know thats how they happen. hope this helps!
