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.
When to see a doctor
Seek professional care if you experience any of the following symptoms
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Recent weight loss
- Melena (black stools)
- Respiratory wheeze
Possible Causes
Generally, Excessive burping can be related to:
- Aerophagia (Swallowing Air)
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).
- Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)
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.
- Functional Dyspepsia
A condition where symptoms like pain, bloating or indigestion persist without any obvious cause identified.
- Gastritis
- Gastroduodenal Ulcer
- Colonic Polyp
- Gastric Cancer
- Common Cold (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection)
- Constipation
Related serious diseases
Sometimes, Excessive burping may be related to these serious diseases:
- Acute Appendicitis
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.
