Hiccups, why do they ocurr?
Answer:
Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound.

They are usually because of not breathing properly or eating to fast. Usually if you take slow deep breaths and gently push in your abdomen right below your sternum you should be able to get rid of the pesky problem.
