Hiccups Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
To most people, hiccups are something of
Select
the
a
joke. But to
Select
the
a
hiccups sufferer they can be disturbing , embarrassing and even frightening. They are produced by
Select
the
a
sudden, intermittent and spasmodic contraction of
Select
the
a
diaphragm. But all sorts of things can start them off.
In babies, they can develop very easily because
Select
the
a
nerve which normally controls
Select
the
a
diaphragm hasn't been properly developed. It is even possible for
Select
the
a
foetus in
Select
the
a
womb to hiccup!
In children - and some adults - hiccups can start from eating too much or too quickly. In other people they develop after eating hot or spicy food, after exercising too soon after
Select
the
a
meal or after swallowing air - this commonly happens when people try talking and eating at
Select
the
a
same time - and can develop in conjunction with indigestion or wind.
