I’m guessing that’s because they’re forcefully pushing air in opposite directions.
How come neither burps nor hiccups are usually painful, but a combination of both is?

Does happen regularly for you? I can’t tell you if I’ve ever burped and hiccuped at the same time

How come the ground doesn’t normally hurt when I touch it and if I stumble it doesn’t hurt, but it hurts when I stumble and hit the ground?

When you burp, your stomach contracts and your esophagus relaxes, allowing air to expel. When you hiccup, your diaphragm contracts, and your esophagus relaxes. I dunno. Kinda. I’m mock-hiccupping abs burping as I type this and that seems to be what’s going on).
When all three contract, everything jams up, and that hurts.
Cool story time: Sometimes I hiccup really hard and it’s kind of painful. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

My hiccups always hurt. Why does my body have an internal fist it can use to repeatedly punch me in the stomach?
