I don’t know what to do

[MelanieeM]

So I’m 16 and I went to Portugal this summer and you can say I had like a huge aniexty attack in Portugal because I started thinking a lot about death and my parents dying & me dying and etc. Then I had this aniexty issue for awhile then when I get back home from vacation it kinda went away but then I developed this burping problem that honestly I think I burp like 100 times a day sometimes more then others. And it’s been happening for 2 months now. & it doesn’t help that I freak over everthing and now I tend to always search up google symptoms & now I’m convinced I could have some disease or something which honestly makes my aniexty worse lately my aniexty has been okay and I’ve been trying to stay positive and think that’s it’s normal and it was probably all the stress and aniexty and it’s gonna take some time to heal , but some days it’s like all I think about is what I have or if there’s something wrong with me & it stresses me out so much .. if someone ever experienced this or know what I’m talking about please let me know becuase this is really annoying and I jus want to stop burping

Hi MelanieeM.... what you are experiencing happens to a lot of anxious people. When we are in a state of fear we tend to mouth breathe and swallow a lot of air. When there's a lot of air trapped in the upper stomach, we burp. You were right in thinking it was due to stress and anxiety. My experience with this was that I use to chew gum multiple times a day. Popping one stick after another because I was anxious. I didn't burp and suffered pain from air trapped in my upper stomach. The doctor said to stop the gum and it stopped my stomach pain. We live and we learn. xx
