Usually, burping is a result of swallowed air building up in your esophagus, the tube that connects your throat to your stomach. This buildup of air is often brought on by:
drinking or eating too quickly
talking while you eat
drinking and eating with poorly fitting dentures
consuming carbonated drinks
smoking
sucking on hard candy
chewing gum
Aerophagia, which is swallowing air as a nervous habit
Gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lininggastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), as people with this condition often swallow more frequently
Acid reflux, which can also promote increased swallowing
Next Steps
Although burping is a natural bodily function, excessive burping could be the result of an underlying condition. This is especially true if it’s accompanied by other symptoms, such as abdominal pain or heartburn.
Proton pump inhibitor is helpful in such cases.
