Hiccups are the result of some kind of irritation of the phrenic nerve, that nerve supplies your diaphragm. they usually stop on there own.
eating spicy foods, drinking hot or cold beverages are usually the culprits that cause hiccups to happen, but that is not for sure,some say that they are not sure what brings on hiccups.

Something to do with the esophagus and that valve(pyloric, I think) which is like between the stomach and the esophagus.

I think it is the result of respritory upset when we eat something too fast or something. I really don't know for sure.

I don't know, but they hurt soooo bad!!!! Don't you think? I actually think it's God's way of keeping us in check or something. Hmm... Not really.

We get hiccups because we laugh so hard when something is funny to us.
