Hiccups are actually caused by a microorganism called “hickey” getting into your lungs. When you hold your breath, you flood the organism with carbon dioxide, which kills enough of it that your immune system can handle the rest easily.

Yeah. Oxygen deprivation releases the reflex, but you have to hold your breath, so long that it hurts.
There have actually been studies why that is.
Why is that?
