A sudden increase in belching could be caused by swallowing too much air, a condition known as aerophagia, or could be related to digestive issues.
Sudden increases in belching can often be linked to aerophagia, which is when a person swallows excess air. This can happen from habits like chewing gum, smoking, or eating too quickly. Belching can also be related to digestive problems.
Understanding the cause of belching is important to manage it effectively. If belching becomes bothersome, it may be helpful to look at habits that could be leading to more air swallowing or to consider if there are any digestive symptoms that need attention.
