With eye pain, there may be other symptoms too, which may help diagnose the cause of the discomfort. These include: 1  Conjunctivitis-red itchy eyes. 2  Tears. 3  Light sensitivity (photophobia). 4  Discharge, which can be clear, or thick and coloured (pus). 5  The eye being crusted shut after sleep due to discharge.
The process of breathing performs a number of important gas exchanges through inhalation and exhalation. When someone inhales, they contract and move their diaphragm, which allows the lungs to expand. This is a part of the process needed to psychically suck in the air. When a person exhales, the diaphragm relaxes and the movement is undone. This allows air to be gradually pushed out of the lungs.
Your diaphragm is the muscle just below your lungs. It marks the boundary between your chest and abdomen. The diaphragm regulates breathing. When your diaphragm contracts, your lungs take in oxygen. When your diaphragm relaxes, your lungs release carbon dioxide. The diaphragm contracting out of rhythm causes hiccups. Each spasm of the diaphragm makes the larynx and vocal cords close suddenly. This results in a sudden rush of air into the lungs. Your body reacts with a gasp or chirp, creating the sound characteristic of hiccups.
