I don't know why for sure, but I do this a lot, especially when relaxing, sleepy, resting. Sometimes it is very forceful. I can feel them coming on, a tension that culminates with forceful exhalation. Hiccups are a muscle spasm of the diaphragm, causing quick inhalation. I think the reverse hiccup is muscle spasm of the rectum abdominus one of the belly muscles causing quick EXHALATION of air.

What muscle contracts to cause a hiccup?
A hiccup is the movement of the diaphragm. The diaphragm is in the thoracic cavity just under the lungs. This organ helps to squeeze the lungs when you exhale in order to get all the air out of the lungs. Holding your breath causes the diaphragm to move downward and stop this movement.
