Not quite the same. "I've got the hiccups." = You're hiccuping repeatedly [it's happening CONTINUOUSLY]. You've probably already had a few hiccups and they haven't ended yet. "I just hiccuped" = I just hiccuped ONCE. It's referring to one particular hiccup as opposed to above, which is referring to ongoing and multiple hiccups. -- Good luck and take care :)!
