What can be done to stop non-stop burping?
To stop non-stop burping, try diaphragmatic breathing and be mindful of how much air you swallow when eating or drinking.
Explanation
Burping happens when you swallow too much air, which then comes back up. To help stop frequent burping, you can try diaphragmatic breathing. This technique involves using your diaphragm, a muscle under your lungs, to help control your breathing. Studies show that this can reduce burping.
Tips to Reduce Burping:
- Diaphragmatic Breathing: Practice breathing deeply using your diaphragm. This can help reduce the amount of air you swallow.
- Eat and Drink Slowly: Eating or drinking too fast can cause you to swallow more air.
- Be Mindful of Triggers: Some people burp more when they eat certain foods or drink fizzy drinks.
If burping continues, it might be a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider to see if there’s another cause.
