The man’s case study is subject to further evaluation. However, even if it is shocking, it may be possible for hiccups to appear as in a way in which the virus begins to attack vital organs.
Right now, the man’s persistent hiccup presentation has been labeled “rare.” However, the reason it happens is that when something obstructs the muscle that regulates respiratory function, in this case, the deadly SARS-VOC-2 virus.
Hiccups occur when there is a spasm in the diaphragm. Irritation of the phrenic nerve, which passes from the neck to the diaphragm, causes contractions which, in turn, lead to the particular ‘hic’ sound sensation experienced with hiccups.
It should also be noted that the new coronavirus is already known to be quite lethal to the respiratory system and to induce complications such as breathing difficulties or difficulties. Hiccups, therefore, could be a strange side effect that should be noticed.
Interestingly, in the past, hiccups had also been associated with infections such as the flu and tuberculosis.
