No.  Hiccoughs are involuntary contractions of the diaphragm, but they are NOT linked to the heart rate, hence not triggered by electrical impulses traveling from the heart through the sheath of the phrenic nerve, as thumps are.  I don't have a technical explanation for hiccoughs, but they don't fit the situation with thumps at all.
