*''Vayu'' along with aggravated ''kapha'' obstructs the ''pranavaha srotas'' and ''marma jatharagni'' resulting in loss of consciousness, stiffness in the body and also obstructs the channels of food and drinks. There is impairment of memory, tears in the eyes and stiffness in the temples and displacement of eyebrows. He suffers from delirium along with obstruction of speech, which does not get relief by any means. ''Maha hikka'' is ''mahamula'' (deep rooted), ''mahavega'' (massive attack), ''mahashabda'' (very loud sound), ''maha bala'' (very strong). This can lead to death immediately, hence named as ''mahahikka''. [21-26]

Excessive aggravation of kapha and vayu in an aged, emaciated and mentally depressed individual leads to hikka. This hikka is characterised by deep and resonant sound, and affliction of the chest. He yawns, contracts and expands his body, and while respiring he contracts both the flanks making murmuring sounds, and suffers from stiffness and pain. In such a patient the hikka arises from the umbilicus or pakvashaya (intestines) with pain all over the body. During this time his body bends and he suffers from black outs, obstruction in the respiratory tract and loss of strength and unconsciousness. Such hikka is known as gambhira hikka which ultimately results in death. (27-30)
