Why Do You Get Hiccups?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
2. Big Meals
A big, delicious meal can be so satisfying and so enjoyable that it is difficult to say no to more. This can lead to us becoming too full and this can lead to a number of short-term problems. One of the problems that this can cause is hiccups.
Too much food in the stomach will temporarily cause the stomach to expand, and it can expand to the point where it is pushed up against the diaphragm and irritates it. This can then cause the diaphragm to contract and this can lead to hiccups. Avoiding eating too much can help to prevent hiccups from occurring.
