  • What happens when you stop having sexx

Hiccups can be annoying but they’re usually short-lived. However, some people may experience recurrent episodes of persistent hiccups. Persistent hiccups, also known as chronic hiccups, are defined as episodes that last longer than 48 hours. You can hiccup as a result of an overindulgent meal, a sudden change in temperature, excitement or stress, drinking carbonated drinks or alcohol and chewing gum. Persistent or recurrent hiccups typically have an underlying condition which may be any form of disease.  If your hiccups don’t go away within a few minutes, here are some home remedies that might be helpful: Gargle with ice water for one minute. The cold water will help soothe any irritation in your diaphragm, Suck on a small piece of ice, Breathe slowly into a paper bag. This increases the carbon dioxide in your lungs, which causes your diaphragm to relax. Hold your breath. This also helps to increase carbon dioxide levels. Since there’s no definitive way to stop hiccups, there’s no guarantee these remedies will work, but they can be effective for some people. If you find yourself getting hiccups often, eating smaller meals and minimizing carbonated beverages and gassy foods might be helpful. If your hiccups don’t go away within 48 hours, are severe enough that they interfere with daily activities, or seem to be recurring more frequently, you will need to see your doctor for a thorough medical examination.
