What Does Burping Smoke Indicate?

Today I burped smoke. I do not smoke cigarettes, pot, or anything else. I had been inside (not in the cold). There were no know chemicals or smoke in my house s air. Periodically I burp and have a funny taste in my throat but this is the first time I actually saw smoke (out of my mouth and nose) with the taste. What caused it?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sense of burping smoke which is known as Phantosmia which occurs mainly due to olfactory hallucinations. Another possible cause is you could be troubled with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Need not to worry. You should take a single tablet of desvenlafaxine daily and your symptoms will resolve in one month. I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination and diagnosis and then start treatment accordingly if your symptoms keeps on persisting. Doctor may order endoscopy or can go for barium swallow study. Doctor may refer you to oral pathologist or ENT specialist . For now maintain proper oral hygiene. Take diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. drink plenty of water along with that take green tea 2-3 times a day. For Obsessive Compulsive Disorder you need to consult psychiatrist for that.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
