I recently started having some long term bouts of hick ups. I looked in the comunity 'Well of knowledge', but came up fairly empty, so turned to the internet. It seems that they may be a symptom of an exasperation or a trigger for it, as it is associated with the diaphragm and the ability to breathe properly. Who knew? I thought to share what I found here, in case there are others who have experienced the discomfort of continuous hiccups, and wondered why. As always, keep yer stick on the ice, and God bless.
