I have a strange question???

Has anybody ever felt this and is this heart related... I often times get ONE hiccup, I get that hiccupy spasm, I get a hiccup and  make that weird noise, and it's over.....but sometimes that ONE hiccup feels like it's my heart, like one hard thump in my chest and I make that funky gaspy breath that people make with the hiccups....and what's bothering me is that I did it last night, in my sleep! It happened ONCE, I felt my chest/heart make a real hard THUD and I made a hiccupy sound, it was so loud it woke me up from a sound sleep! Someone has mentioned sleep apnea but I do this when I'm awake! And it just happens once, and it's over.....it just really happened to scare me last night since it woke me up!
I swear it was my heart because I felt this strange THUD in chest.....I'd really hate to think I'm having problems breathing while I'm sleeping...but I swear it felt just like a hiccup.....who knows....has anybody else felt anything this strange "hiccupy feeling?" or do I have this wierd "mystery diagnosis"......tired of feeling freaked out!

Yours really felt like a "hiccup" also?.....It's kind of what I thought it was but like you said...."I'm not an expert" .....it's bothersome more than anything, probably because I don't have an answer...I hate always trying to figure it out...and of course....I never do!

Im not an expert but thats what my pvcs feel like.  I originally thought it was my stomach pumping but evertime one hit while I was hooked up they said its a pvc and said i just have to live with them I had them for a week then they just stopped but one will hit every few months or so.
