HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the chronic history of hiccup then it may be due to hiatal hernia and if it is not the condition then it may be due to idiopathic condition which some time associated with some functional factors, in my opinion better to see the psychiatrist first and the second option is surgery, nerve supply to the diaphragm being cut down, it is the rare procedure being done but most of the time it comes with antipsychiatric drugs only hope this information helps.
