What Causes Rapid Heart Beats After Hiccups?

Hi Doctor, I suddenly got the hiccups then with it, my heart started beating rapidly. It seemed like super fast regular heartbeats. Sometimes when I try and take a deep breath or when I breathe too quickly where the air in my chest feels trapped, my heartbeat will suddenly go from 60 beats to what seems 180 beats per minute. Any suggestions?

Hi,

There is a reflex between inspiration, hiccups, cough and heart rate. If you have heart beats very frequently I would advise you to see your doctor and undergo holter monitoring.

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
