The muscle that allows your lungs to breathe in and out (the diaphragm) is having spasms. It has nothing to do with air being trapped. Nobody knows what causes the spasms.

To get rid of hiccups,close both your ears,and have somebody pour you a 8 oz glass of water without stopping,until its all gone.Within a second your hiccups will be gone.

You have hiccups because your diaphragm is spasming. To get rid of hiccups relax your diaphragm.

Sudden contraction of diaphragm; an abrupt involuntary contraction of the diaphragm that causes an intake of breath and closes the vocal cords, resulting in a convulsive gasp.

when your diaphragm becomes irritated it pulls down in a jerky way which makes you suck air into your throat suddenly.when the rushing air hits your voice box you are left with a hiccup.some things that irritate the diaphragm are eating too quickly or too much,stomach or throat irritation,or feeling nervous or excited.
