excessive burping non stop
how do i stop excessive burping? It is none stop for an hour now.
Do you chew gum and/or drink alot of carbonated beverages? Make sure you eat slow you may be swallowing alot of air. Maybe try a gas x type product and drink plenty of water. I've had this problem and that usually helps.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Chances are that you have esophageal reflux (GERD), where the food in your stomach is thrown up into your food pipe or esophagus. Another possibility is hiatal hernia, where a portion of stomach herniates into the chest cavity through the diaphragm. Both can cause a discomfort in the chest area, burning, heaviness etc. Irritation of the left diaphragm due to acidity causing stomach distension or due to the hernia can cause hiccups. Fatty food, alcohol etc too can cause hiccups. In GERD, hiccup is body’s mechanism to prevent choking.
Apart from these kidney problems and other metabolic disorders, cancers, infections, certain mental health problems and brain stroke or injury can cause persistent hiccups.
Take an antacid gel and a muscle relaxer and see if it helps. Meanwhile set up an appointment with your doctor to get this investigated.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
