Breathing is a little weird in that regard. It’s a natural instinct that you don’t have to think about, but when you do think about it, you can control it more or less voluntarily.

Hiccups are often way more annoying and way more on the involuntary side of reflexes.

I’ve researched hiccups before, and experts say that it’s basically the reflex that’s meant to start newborn babies breathing. After that though, it’s basically an unnecessary vestigial reflex.

I’m no expert though, I just know hiccups are fucking annoying as hell!
