The previous answer are good possibilities. I think that another possibility is that you may have asthma. Many of my patients are first diagnosis' after having difficulty breathing especially at night with sleep disturbances. You really need to keep a diary of your symptoms and take it with you when you go to the doctor which a recommend be pairly soon. While it might just be a fluke you don't want to mess with your breathing. Because if you can't breath you can't do anything else.
It sounds like sleep apnea. It's where you sleep at night and your sleep is interrupted with 10-20 seconds of your upper airways being blocked. I dont have any knowledge on the hiccups.
This happen to me a few weeks ago, mine was diagonosed as a panic attack. you should go to the hospital ASAP, because those are also symptoms of a stroke or heart attack which need medical attention right away.
