A: FROM MENTOR JOAN LUSK IN
RI
These sites cast some light on the subject:
http://www.mdadvice.com/library/ped/pedillsymp209.html
http://www.mailbag.com/users/oesophagus/webdoc21.htm
The spasms causing hiccups are movements of the diaphragm
- but the
second site discusses effects on the esophagus (or oesophagus,
as it
prefers to spell the word.)
They don't mention my own favorite remedy: to drink water
from the
far side of the glass. That's much more effective than just
drinking
normally.
