Changes

The ''vayu'' gets slightly aggravated in the ''koshtha'' (alimentary tract), due to the physical exercises and reaches the throat and produces ''kshudra hikka''. This does not produce much pain and does not afflict the head and vital parts (''hridaya marma''). In this type of ''hikka'', the ''doshas'' do not reside or get lodged in the channels of respiration, food and drinks. This gets aggravated on exertion and subsides on taking food. ''Hikka'' gets subsided by itself also. The ''doshas'' are situated in cardiac region, ''kloma'', throat and palate. This mild form of ''hikka'' is curable and known as ''kshudra hikka''. [35-37]
