It's a spasmodic periodic closure of the glottis followering spasmodic lowering of the diaphragm. The quickest cure is a teaspoon of sugar ( been doing it for years and it hasn't failed me yet ).

It comes from your diaphragm it has muscle spasms and that causes hiccups.

It happens because your diaphragm goes into spasms

its an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm and can on rare occasions be caused by serious disease

there's a muscle that runs along your esophagus. no one knows why it begins to jump or spasm, but that's what makes hiccups. the best way to stop it is to deprive it of oxygen. that's why most "cures" involve holding your breath or limiting your breathing.
