Answer 2

A hiccup or hiccough (normally pronounced "HICK-up" IPA: /ˈhɪkəp/), is the spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm that repeats several times per minute. In humans, the abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close, creating the "hic" listen  noise. In medicine, it is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus.

The term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern.

A bout of hiccups generally resolves itself without intervention, although many home remedies claim to shorten the duration, and medical treatment is occasionally necessary.

While many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to be triggered by specific events, such as lack of water, eating too fast, being hungry for long, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, burping, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously, coughing, drinking alcoholic beverages in excess, crying out loud (sobbing causes air to enter the stomach), some smoking situations where abnormal inhalation can occur (in tobacco or other smoke like cannabis, perhaps triggered by precursors to coughing), electrolyte imbalance, talking too long, clearing the throat, by some of the stronger opiate painkillers such as Heroin, Morphine, and Oxycodone or from lack of vitamins. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or having the sensation that there is food in the esophagus, rarely by tumors and certain kidney disease. The American Cancer Society reports that 30% of chemotherapy patients suffer singultus as a side effect of treatment.

Answer 3

Hiccups are caused when the rythmic beating of your heart falls out of sync with your breathing.

That's the best tip I can offer. Not sure how to purposely cause them but maybe you can figure out some method that will?

Answer 4

Swallow air and burp it back out. Keep going until you start to hiccup. Continue until the hiccups catch. You should have a good case of hiccups. I've seen this work many times. Let us know how it works out!
