Hiccups occur because of irritation of nerve known as phrenic nerve which supply our respiratory muscle known as diaphragm. It is possible that your chin rubbing is irritating that nerve indirectly because of some indirect connections. It's just physiological and you need not worry
Next Steps
Consult nearby physician for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
