Hiccups while eating are primarily caused by the sudden contraction of the diaphragm. According to Dr. Aravinda S N, triggers include eating too fast, overeating, spicy foods, and carbonated drinks. Fast eating causes air ingestion, irritating the vagus and phrenic nerves. Temperature changes and emotional shifts while eating also contribute. While usually harmless, persistent hiccups lasting over 48 hours or accompanied by chest pain require medical attention. Experts recommend eating slowly and chewing food thoroughly to prevent them. https://www.onlymyhealth.com/hindi/why-do-we-start-getting-hiccups-after-we-begin-eating-12977849943
