What Causes Excessive Belching In A Heart Attack Survivor?

Hello I had a heart attack 2 months ago and angioplasty was done on my left coronary artery. In the past few weeks I have experienced excessive belching even when I first wake up or not necessary after meals. I feel like I m full of air. Do you have any suggestions why this is happening?

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I have gone through your question. Recurrent belching suggest that there

is a problem with your (food pipe) lower esophageal sphincter (LES). you

need to visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation . It may not be

related with your cardiac status.

Hope to have been helpful!

Wishing good health,
