Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thank you for your query
I understand your concern
Well possibly you have a sensitive stomach and some of gas production. Most of the time burping is secondary to involuntarily swallowing of air with release of swallowed air in the form of burping. With normal endoscopy earlier ensure that there is nothing much to worry about.
Ensure good lifestyle with following measures:
Eat on time
Drink plenty of clean drinking water
Go for regular brisk walk
Avoid sleeping two hours after meals
Don't eat too much at a time
Avoid coffee and aerated drinks
In addition visiting your psychiatrist once might help as he might consider adding some medications to tackle the sensitivity of your intestine. All this will help you in long run. In addition also ignoring your symptoms to certain extent may also help you to overcome them.
Hope this answers your questions
Wish you a speedy recovery

I have tried everything you have suggested but it doesn't work. How do you stop swallowing air.

Sorry for the delay in responding
Well air swallowing is an involuntary process most of the time and anxiety worsens it so mental relaxation is very important.
Also may need to check with your gastroenterologist and if deemed necessary with your psychiatrist and counselor to put you on medication to reduce the sensitivity of your stomach
Best wishes
