A burp is a normal bodily function when the body releases excess air from the digestive tract through the mouth. Excessive burping is when people think they are burping far more than usual. It can be a sign of acid reflux or inflammation of the lining of the stomach.
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
Generally, Excessive burping can be related to:
Excessive and repetitive air swallowing, resulting in burping, bloating and flatulence symptoms. It can be caused by psychological reasons, habits, or using machines that assist in breathing (CPAP machines).
A condition where stomach acid flows back up the esophagus (food pipe). It can be caused or worsened by obesity, alcohol, and caffeine. Eating habits also play a role - eating large meals quickly or lying down after meals are known triggers.
A condition where symptoms like pain, bloating or indigestion persist without any obvious cause identified.
Sometimes, Excessive burping may be related to these serious diseases:
Acute appendicitis happens when the appendix (a small, tube-like structure attached to a part of the colon) gets inflamed. This usually occurs because the appendix gets clogged with fecal material or calcium. The appendix swells with inflammation and becomes infected with gut bacteria. It can affect anyone and is most common in young adults.
