If you get the hiccups (or hiccoughs), and you aren't allergic to peanuts, grab a spoonful of peanut butter. Hiccups gone! (But then again, who needs an excuse to eat a spoonful of peanut butter!!)

What do they call it when everyone starts yawning when they see someone else yawn?? Always wondered why that happens.

Hiccups, a sudden inward breath, decreases chest pressure. Usually occur when the heart is mid-pump.
Sneezes or coughs increase chest pressure, so the body decreases or skips a heartbeat.

As children we used to get the hiccups by laughing!

Gary, I believe it's called psychosomatic.

MALICE, yes someone was messing with you when they suggested that your heart skips a beat when you hiccup. I think you need to read more books.
