Hiccups are involuntary muscular spasms originating in the diaphragm. Most hiccups appear without any apparent reason and disappear on their own within a few minutes. But when they continue for more than two days but less than a month, the condition is referred to as persistent hiccups. However, in rare cases, they might continue for over one month or recur at frequent intervals over a longer span of time, they’re called chronic hiccups.
