HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, the most common cause of hiccup is involuntary movement of diaphragm due to irritation and it could be due to hyperacidity, the best option of this is to try antacid with local action (Contains local anesthetic agent ) condition is self limiting and it is nothing to worry, hope this information helps.
