In this short instructional video, Tom Krieglstein explains that hiccups are caused by a spasm of the nerve that controls the diaphragm. He then demonstrates a simple breathing technique to stop them: inhale through the nose three consecutive times to fully fill the lungs, hold the breath for 15–30 seconds, and finally exhale slowly through the mouth. He claims this method eliminates his hiccups every single time.
