Burping

[Nyda]

Does anyone else burp from their anxiety 

[Agora1]

Oh sure Nyda,  when we are nervous, we tend to swallow a lot of air.

Yeah getting  bad they give me gas relief pills don't work

[Agora1 in reply to Nyda]

Something like Simethicone?  (GAS-X)

I might burp from being suddenly surprised, which would cause me to gulp some air into my windpipe……… but anxiety, I'm not so sure.

[Agora1 in reply to Annie55406]

Annie, we don't realize how much air we swallow when scared.  We tend to swallow more out of fear with the air going down the esophagus and into our stomach.  Unless it's painful, it really isn't a problem.   xx

Yes all the time. It's gastric reflux with me and is very much stress related.

Yes!!!

I started burping 6 years ago. I was diagnosed with GERD, Acid Reflux, Gastreoporeses, and chronic Pancreatitis. My GI prescribed Reglan. It stopped the burping but I started shaking badly. He took me off and prescribed Baclofen. That worked great without side effects. Then suddenly in April this year I started burping again constantly and severely. The Baclofen no longer works. I do have anxiety & depression and take meds for that. I have had every test possible, chest xray,Upper GI series, esophagael manametry, 24 ph monitoring. All show negative. No hiatal hernia etc. I tried Motilium from Canada and that doesn't work either. I went to UCLA GI specialist for second opinion. He said I have Supra Gastric Belching and said only treatment is speech therapy. I find it hard to believe in April I suddenly learned the behavior to constantly burp. None of the Speech therapists in all of Los Angeles County where I live even heard of supra gastric belching. Only 2 speech therapists at UCLA heard of it. I went to one of them 3 times. She only knows of one breathing exercise for it which does nothing. I am ready to kill myself. I can't go anywhere or do anything with this burping. Which on September hiccups got added. I am in constant pain and discomfort. I keep losing my voice. Does anyone know how to cure and stop my burping and hiccups? please help me.
