a hiccup.
A spasm of the diaphragm
After getting the wind knocked out of you, the diaphragm muscle, which helps with breathing, can spasm or go into a temporary paralysis. This spasm can make it difficult to breathe and can cause the sensation of not being able to catch your breath.
From an involuntary spasm of your diaphragm
Hiccups happen when the breathing center activates the diaphragm to inhale air, while the epiglottis at this point gets the wrong signal and closes the windpipe/trachea
Hiccups are caused when you have contractions of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is what makes your lungs take in oxygen and expel it.
There are many symptoms of a hemifacial spasm. They include muscle movement in the patient's eyelid and around the eye. The muscle movement can vary in intensity.
Hiccough or Hiccup.Singultus is the medical term meaning involuntary contraction of the diaphragm. The lay term is hiccup.
With the contraction of the diaphragm by spasm the inhaling of air is stopped suddenly the gap in the vocal cords reduce during the contraction of diaphragm which causes a hiccup and the process is repeated
What that could be is diaphragm pain. Most people don;t realize that their diaphragm is really a muscle and it can get sore or go into spasm, like other muscles.
A hiccup is the involuntary spasm of the diaphragm. I am 100% sure this is the correct answer. I am no doctor but I once saw it on mastermind :D
Hiccups are caused by a spasm of the diaphragm, the muscle beneath your lungs that helps you breathe. This spasm can be triggered by eating too quickly, swallowing air, or even emotional stress.
