At the most inopportune times, and not only after eating, belching may occur with air. The reasons can be very different. On the one hand, this is quite normal, because we always "eat" a little air with food. But if belching becomes too frequent, this already indicates the presence in our body of a problem that needs to be identified and eliminated.
If you have a loud and unexpected burping of air, the causes should be sought in a disease such as aerophagy. With each sip or a piece of food, two to three milligrams of air enters our stomach, and this is normal. The ingestion of a small amount of air into the stomach is inevitable. It can gradually accumulate and at some point an eructation of air will appear. A lump in the throat indicates that the air bubble has become too large. To eliminate it, we swallow and gain even more air into the stomach. In the pit of stomach there is a feeling of fullness, heaviness and nausea appear.
Belching with air most often arises due to our daily rush, workload and lack of time for a good, full and relaxing dinner. We eat fast, swallow whole chunks without chewing, drink water with food so that it passes faster into the stomach, and continue to do our urgent tasks. All of the above and leads to the formation of a food coma in the stomach and the accumulation of a large portion of air. Add here the use of chewing gum. After all, today rarely is anyone without it, and you are guaranteed to burp air.
The reasons can also be found in smoking, which helps air to enter our stomach and stay there. Sometimes aerophagy occurs due to excessive physical and emotional stress, frequent neurosis and stress. The appearance of belching in some cases indicates the onset of serious mental disorders or hysteria. If for such reasons an eructation occurs with air, a lump in the throat is an additional symptom. Patients with mental illnesses make constant swallowing movements, trying to eliminate the lump in their throat, press their chin to their chest and prepare for a burping.
In addition to the above symptoms of the disease, patients with symptoms such as nausea, burping air often worry about hiccups. Belching with air provokes shortness of breath, chest pain similar to angina pectoris, and palpitations. Before you start treatment yourself, be sure to consult a gastroenterologist. It will help to find out the exact cause of the pathology. Indeed, in some cases, if there is an eructation of air, the causes may be in a disease of the stomach.
It is very important to pay close attention to how you eat. Food must be eaten as slowly as possible. Give the food process at least twenty minutes, as experts advise us. Do not talk during it and chew food with your mouth closed. And after a tasty, wholesome and not too plentiful dinner, it is best to take a walk through the fresh air. Avoid overeating and eliminate smoking, especially while eating. And of course, if you prefer to drink Coca-Cola, beer or soda water as drinks , burping is inevitable. Try to reduce their consumption. Also, all types of airborne foods can burp.
Traditional medicine will help you get rid of burping air. Prepare a decoction of valerian root and consume it daily, dividing the glass into several equal tricks. This will help stop uncontrolled ingestion of air. Get rid of bad habits and pay more attention to yourself. Most often, after understanding the problem and eliminating the cause, the patient stops complaining of burping. If you carefully monitor your habits and control the ingestion of air, aerophagy will soon cease to torment you.
