One or two hiccups is nothing. But when they roll on for twenty minutes, then come back an hour later, they stop being funny fast — every gulp of breath cut short by that involuntary jerk.
A hiccup is your diaphragm snapping into a sudden spasm over and over. Calming that repeating muscle contraction is exactly the kind of job Spascupreel was made for.
Why hiccups keep looping
Your diaphragm gets caught in a reflex it cannot switch off.
- Eating too fast, swallowed air and a stretched stomach irritate the diaphragm.
- Fizzy drinks or sudden temperature swaps, they set off the reflex arc.
- Stress and excitement, a keyed-up nervous system keeps the spasm firing.
The short version: settle the diaphragm spasm and the loop finally breaks.
