Why do we sob?

The hiccup is caused by a contraction – sudden spasm – of the muscle called the diaphragm, which is between the chest and the abdomen. When this happens, our glottis (a lid that sits in the throat) closes, hampering the passage of air to the lungs. Hence, there is a change in our respiratory cycle. The phenomenon is uncomfortable, but disappears within minutes.

Several everyday situations can favor the occurrence of hiccups: drinking soft drinks or alcoholic beverages, eating a lot and quickly, plus the sudden change in body temperature (like getting out of a hot place and taking a shower chilled).

Some people also hiccup when eating spicy foods and very dry breads, or even when they burst out laughing. In the latter case, the person can “swallow” air. With nowhere to go, this trapped air comes out in the form of sobs.
