About the Symptom
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
- Morning Sickness
- Gastroduodenal Ulcer
- Bronchiectasis
- Colonic Polyp
Related Serious Diseases
Sometimes, Excessive burping may be related to these serious diseases:
- Bowel obstruction
This happens when the intestines are blocked, for example, by tumors or scar tissue from past surgeries. Quick medical attention is necessary.
- Acute Appendicitis
Doctor's Diagnostic Questions
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this symptom:
- Do you burp frequently?
- When did you first notice the frequent burping?

Q.
How are excessive burping and heartburn related?
A.
Excessive burping and heartburn can be related because both may occur when stomach acid moves back up into the esophagus, a condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This can cause discomfort and lead to more air being swallowed, resulting in more burping.
