I realized today that I haven't had hiccups in almost a year, so I asked AI.

Question:
Can low potassium cause diaphragm spasming and hiccups?

Answer:
Yes. Low potassium (hypokalemia) can cause muscle excitability and spasms, including in the diaphragm. The diaphragm is a skeletal muscle, and potassium is essential for proper nerve conduction and muscle contraction. When potassium drops too low, the muscle fibers can misfire, leading to twitching, spasms, or rhythmic contractions—manifesting as hiccups.

Other electrolytes, especially magnesium and calcium, also influence this. If magnesium is low, it can worsen potassium loss and amplify the spasming.

Before Trubalance, I lived in a constant state of hypokalemia. Consistency of nutrition intake changes so many things! Its hard to notice the absence of a thing until you see someone else suffering with it.
