Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your arrhythmia seems to be benign, as your doctor has reassured.
‘Post hoc ergo propter hoc’ – meaning "after this, therefore because of this" - we tend to associate things with the immediate preceding event, which is true, only at times... / Belching may simply be drawing attention to the event! / Gas can be produced in the intestine, not in the stomach – it is swallowed air...and anxiety is a common contributory factor, adding to gulping fast with open mouth! Distended stomach may press on the diaphragm... Eating slowly with closed mouth may help; Not lying down after food may help; anti-flatulents and antacids, pro-kinetic drugs may help... / an event monitor may be done at times / Discuss with your doctor.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
