Hiccups Part 1 (Teacher: Michael)
To most people, hiccups are something of
Select
a
that
the
This
joke. But to
Select
a
that
the
This
hiccups sufferer they can be disturbing, embarrassing and even frightening.
They are produced by
Select
a
that
the
This
sudden, intermittent, spasmodic contraction of
Select
a
that
the
This
diaphragm. But all sorts of things can start them off.
In babies, they can develop very easily, because

a
that
the
This
nerve which normally controls

the
This
diaphragm hasn't been properly developed. It is even possible for
Select
a
that
the
This
foetus in
Select
a
that
the
This
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
a
that
the
This
meal, or after swallowing air.

that
the

commonly happens when people try talking and eating at

This
same time.
They can develop in conjunction with indigestion, and they can accompany plain and simple wind.
However, sometimes they can be caused by nothing more than worry or stress, but once they've started, hiccups can be difficult to get rid of.
Some people claim

glass.
