What Causes Hiccups Upon Yawning?

Hi, Lately my a friend of mine pointed out that when I yawn, I hiccup almost. It s not a real hiccup, but my torso does bounce the same way it would if it was a hiccup. This has happened for as long as I can remember. I m not worried about it, just curious to know the reason that happens. Thanks
