Hiccups: You may have had some stomach distension from some retained food and/ or gas buildup giving you the sensation of being short of breath. In addition there could have been some irritation of the stomach lining. These conditions should have been short-lived and resolved by the next day. However if your sensation of breathlessness persisted or recurs, you should be evaluated by a physician.
