[|Human|] I have a bicuspid aortic valve with moderate to severe regurge and my wife tells me I have the hiccups when sleeping and its related to my valve.  Im a 54 year old male who rides over 100 miles a week on my bike.  Is this a problem or indicative of my valve getting worse?
[|AI|]  Hi, If you didn't have enlarged heart chambers and at least moderately enlarged aorta during your last check up and you don't notice any health deterioration during this period, then it is not likely that your hiccups are caused by bicuspid aorta. But actually it may be a sleep apnea and not a hiccup, so I would advise you to see a doctor to evaluate if it is a real hiccup or sleep apnea. Take care, Come back if you have any further questions
