Have constant belching and breathing difficulty. How to get cured?
Answered by
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.Ratnakar Kini Gastroenterologist and I am pleased to answer your query.
Constant belching could be due to acid reflux disease, aerophagia ( excessive swallowing of air) espcially in anxious persons , gastritis and gastroparesis (delayed stomach emptying which occurs most often in diabetics).
So you need to treat the underlying cause.
---Treat acid reflux disease/gastritis with medications like tablet prilosec.
----To prevent aerophagia -
1.Eat slowly
2. Avoid carbonated drinks, chewing gums and smoking ( if you are a smoker)
3. You have mentioned about panic attack which may worsen it. So you need to get that treated.
----Treat diabetes if you are a diabetic and keep blood glucose under control.
----- Avoid fatty food, beans and brocolli
----- Avoid bedtime snacks and go to bed at least 2-3 hours after food.
I hope that answers your question.

Yogurt may not be helpful in preventing constant belching. You may have to treat aerophagia which I have mentioned in my earlier post.
You can take digestive enzymes like Beano for relief.
I hope that answers your question.

MD I am female age 45...in perimenopause-recently had a period after two and half months. Daily experience of feeling bloated and look like I m pregnant(I am not), bowel changes include urgent need to move bowels several times during the day yet urgency doesn t match quantity-stools are soft to loose, often feel indigestion, bloat, occasional heartburn. My diet is relatively healthy, exercise 1-3 X s wk. Can t seem to beat the bloated, gassy feelings I experience daily. Have had gastritis in the past but didn t last this long, but I m not ruling it out either. Concerned symptoms may be a gastritis, food allergy/sensitivity, or perhaps a diverticulosis. Suzane
