What Causes Heart Palpitation And Intermittent Hiccups?
I just saw my doctor and he told me that I had a irregular heart beat that causes me to have a intermittent hiccup like reaction during the day. He said it was a 3 letter abbreviation, something like VRT, VPR... Something like that. I know it started with the letter V for Ventro or Ventral_ _ something???? do you know what might be??

Ventricular Premature Complexes - VPC can cause palpitations and irregular hiccups. It is a common electrical disturbance of the heart, though hiccups is not a common feature. Most of the time the condition is benign unless you have co-existing structural heart disease problems. Treatment depends on may factors including type and number of times you have VPC.
