The heart does not actually stop beating during hiccups; rather, the sensation may be perceived as such due to the simultaneous contractions of the diaphragm and the vagus nerve's stimulation. Hiccups can cause brief interruptions in breathing, which might create a feeling of lightheadedness or an altered heart rhythm. However, the heart continues to pump blood throughout this reflex action. Overall, it’s a temporary response and not a cessation of heart function.
