why do you get hecupps?!
Question: i get hecupps several times a day. why does this happen.
Answers:
Spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is the muscle beneath your lungs that pushes the air in and out. I used to get hiccups so much that I had to develop my own cure. Once I realized they were from a muscle spasm, I consciously tried to relax that muscle. I can kind of feel each spasm coming on if I concentrate, then I just breath VERY slowly through it and don't let it happen. After 30 seconds or so, they're gone. Not sure it will work for anyone else, but it works for me (unless I've been drinking, then forget it).

You get hiccups because the muscles in your stomach called the diaphram has a nervous twitch. This can be set off by lack of sleep, lack of vitamin B, stress, or other various influences
Hiccups are spasms of your diaphragm. They can be caused by stress, lack of food, constant laughing, or eating too quickly.
This is when your diaphram and breathing fall out of sink. Some idea to cure can be drinking water, holding your breath or eating suger granuals. I think with these ideas the notion is to get the two back in motion together.
I LIKE THE OTHER ANSWER! ESPECIALLY BECAUSE U SAY HECUPPS INSTEAD OF HICCUPS! USE THE SPELL CHECK, YOU MAKE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE A DEE DEE DEE!
It's not actually a muscle in your stomach, it's under your lungs and it controls your breathing. Hiccups are spasms of the diaphragm.
not enough CO2(carbob dioxide) in your system! its true look it up!
Hiccups, are involuntary sounds made by spasms of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a large sheet of muscle slung beneath the lungs that, together with the intercostal muscles, causes us to breathe. The muscular spasm of these muscles sucks air into the lungs, and the quick inhalation makes a structure inside the throat (called the epiglottis) slam shut. (The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the windpipe during swallowing to prevent the inhalation of food, fluids or saliva.) This sharp closure of the epiglottis causes the characteristic 'hic' sound of hiccups. Generally, hiccups resolve by themselves after a few minutes, but prolonged hiccups that last for days or weeks may be symptomatic of underlying disorders. Certain drugs, including epilepsy medications, can make a person more prone to hiccups.
