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
Abdominal pain
Diarrhea
Recent weight loss
Melena (black stools)
Respiratory wheeze
Excessive and repetitive swallowing of air, resulting in symptoms of burping and flatulence. It can be caused by psychological reasons or habits, or use of machines that assist in breathing (CPAP machines).
A condition where symptoms such as pain or indigestion persist, even though investigations of the stomach and esophagus show no abnormalities.
A condition where gastric acid reverses back up the esophagus (food pipe). It can be caused or worsened by obesity, alcohol and caffeine. Meal habits also play a role - eating large meals quickly or lying down after meals are known triggers.

Do you burp a lot everyday?
Do you have abdominal pain (stomach ache)?
