Hello doctor, I am a 38-year old male. 6’0" 230 pounds. I have had chronic belching for about a month. This is from the time I wake up until the time I go to bed. Symptoms decrease when lying flat or sitting still. I belch every time I stand up or sit down. It is almost like a hiccup burp. No other symptoms at all. I have been diagnosed with general anxiety but no other medical issues. I have also been taking Nexium for a few weeks.
Hello. I have gone through your query in detail. I would like a few more details about your belching. Do you have reflux symptoms (sour after taste, recently consumed food coming back to the throat on belching, or heartburn) or any vomiting? How are you opening your bowels? Have had an endoscopy (EGD)? Is it usually that you have a feeling that you need to belch to ease the discomfort in your tummy? Belching is usually a behavioral issue, and can be controlled by behavioral training. The above-mentioned details would help in guiding you about managing your symptoms.
