Hiccups are the result of a large meal, drinking carbonated or alcoholic beverages. Going through emotional stress is one of its underlying causes. In most cases, they disappear on their own. In some cases, they do state an underlying health problem.
Some home remedies can help to relieve hiccups. You can do so by holding your breath, gargling with ice water, sipping cold water or breathing into a paper bag. Eating smaller meals may help too.
