Re: Hiccups (Wozza)

What does one do when one is frightened unexpectedly? One gasps, that is to say, one takes in a short breath, and holds it a bit longer than normal. The short intake of breath draws air that would normally be exhaled back into the lungs, and it is higher in carbon dioxide than air that would be drawn in if one breathed normally. Like water remaining in a straw if you let it flow out partially, then draw up more liquid. It doesn't take much, ordinarily.
