I get one random hiccup throughout the day why

Diaphragm: This is a mild spasm of the diaphragm of unknown cause where thankfully it only occurs once and not in a series of multiple hiccups in your case.

Who knows?: It's like getting a random muscle twitch (in your diaphragm) Nothing to worry about unless it bothers you.
