Massage Therapy for Hiccups
Hiccups,
or hiccoughs, 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.
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.
