Dax Shepard Had The Hiccups For 50 Hours Straight And We *Hiccup* Feel For Him

Actor Dax Shepard can finally breathe a sigh of relief after quite an uncomfortable experience. Earlier this week, Dax found himself with a case of the hiccups that just didn't go away. I personally got the hiccups at work today and it was oddly painful and I felt bad about annoying my coworkers with the sound. They lasted about 10 minutes. Can you imagine what kind of hiccup hell Dax was in for 50 hours straight? He was able to laugh through it which is more than commendable. We don't understand how or why they happened to him for so long but we are intrigued and impressed that Dax made it though. He and wife, Kristen Bell chronicled the struggles on his Instagram. Keep reading for more details on his never ending hiccup trail.

Hiccups occur when the diaphragm contracts very quickly and the vocal cords slam shut. Due to this, the body starts to suck in air very quickly which leads to people making the "hiccup" sound.
