Hiccups/hands

Over the past month or so I’ve been experiencing some weird hiccups after I cough (most common, and usually just one, but happened probably 8 or 9 times out of 10) or when I take a really deep breath (less common (2/3 out of 10 times). I’ve noticed I get this feeling of needing to burp as well, well is normally accompanied by a hiccup BEFORE I burp. I do drink pop occasionally (more recently as well) so I have a feeling that might be the case of some GERD/etc. I’ve seen my neurologist (been diagnosed with BFS, potentially an auto immune disease which I don’t have much info on until a see a rheumatologist), but wondering if these are related or separate? Neurologist didn’t really say much about it when I was describing it, but it’s more becoming a nuisance and it’s not like I have all of a sudden starting drinking more acidic drinks lol pop and whatnot, just odd it’s happening around a time where I’ve been having some other neurological issues but have been checked out and deemed okay. Anybody else having similar hiccuping?

I’ve also had this “issue@ where my hands are feeling tight, and feels like they are super stiff in the mornings. They twitch as they normally do but no loss of strength put it is around the pincer area of the hand. I did receive some injections in my wrists about a week ago as I saw a hand specialist who thought it could be early carpal tunnel. I don’t think these are related but curious if anybody else has similar symptoms to mine.
