And you may have thought to yourself what is wrong with me ?and why can't this annoying hic stop ?. It will, probably,but before we proceed let's find out what a hiccup is ?.
A hiccup is an involuntary tightening of the diaphragm (the muscle separating your chest from your abdomen). Each contraction is followed by a sudden closure in the vocal chords which results in the production of the 'hic' sound

Hiccups tend to last for few minutes and sometimes days. But there are rare severe cases that can go on for months.
Causes
Hiccups can be triggered by

• Over excitement
• Ingesting excess air while chewing a bubble gum
• Laughing
  While in severe cases it can be caused by
• Stroke
• Meningitis
• Tumor
  When prolonged, hiccups can interfere your speech,speed and sleep
  Treatment
  Hiccups generally have no cure although there are the superstitions of head standing,drinking a cup of water etc it is best waited out. But in persistent cases it it treated medically.
