You could try holding your breath for the longest interval possible- this usually stops the hiccups.
Persistent hiccups could be due to a rise of the blood urea or some other more serious problem and you would need to get checked out by a doctor for the same. The chest pain might simply be due to the muscle spasms causing the hiccups; you could try a hot bag fomentation to the area.
