While burping is natural and expected, excessive burping—especially if accompanied by other symptoms—could signal an underlying health issue like acid reflux, gastritis, or IBS.
GORD can cause a whole range of symptoms, including burping, being unable to burp, a burning feeling rising from the upper tummy or chest to the neck ('heartburn'), chest pain, throat pain, cough, and bad breath. There are many combinations of symptoms, which is why some people with GORD don't recognise themselves as fitting the classic picture. Aerophagia. GERD. When to see a doctor. Outlook. If a person is burping more than usual, it may be due to the food and drink they are consuming. It could also stem from gastroesophageal reflux Sometimes eating or drinking too fast can cause indigestion, which can make a person burp because this can send extra air into the stomach. The same thing happens when you drink through a straw: extra air in = more burps out. Burping is almost never anything to worry about. Causes. H. pylori infection. Meganblase syndrome. Lifestyle changes. Takeaway. You may burp if you swallow too much air. Practices, such as eating and drinking slowly, may prevent burping.
