my hearburn is getting better I think, but now I've got constant indigestion and am burping a lot. Thing is it takes forever to get the burp to come up and it feels stuck and it is horrible. Once it comes up I feel relief for about 2 seconds than the feelings starts all over again till I burp and get relief. What the heck is going on??

I have the exact same symptoms, throughout the day i get bouts burping and it feels that my upper abdomen needs releif from pressure, but no releif, even after burping, it is usually worse after meals. I have been to many doctors and also have been to the mayo clinic in arizona. Nothing serious, no cancer,ulcers etc. I do have some reflux, but i am wondering if it is from dyspepsia, which is what I think I have given my symptoms. I am still researching, hopefully I will find some type of releif because this is terrible to deal with EVERY DAY for the past 2 years. I am considering trying an antidepressant like paxil because I have read it might help with IBS, dyspepsia and some digestion issues.

Hi,

I feel the exact same way l8rb8r. This pressure drives me crazy and I constantly feel like I have to burp but I can't. I'm also having heart palpitations that freak me out a bit. Sometimes I wonder if it's all in my head, and whether worrying about it just makes it worse. I hope you find some relief

Liz

This might seem really stupid on face value, but monitor the amount you swallow.
Chronic relfux can cause waterbrash which makes you naturally swallow saliva (and air at the same time). If you find you are salivating a lot, it means there is an underlying relfux disorder which needs to be addressed (spitting out saliva is not a good option, it is a physiological adaptation used to neutralise the acid).

Another cause is anxiety. When your nervous one swallows air. The treament here is simply relaxation techniques, slow breathing etc. But in my opinion the best treatment for anxiety is to be as occupied and socially active as possible.

I had indigestion really bad for awhile to the point where my Dr. prescribed me 3 months of medicine to help regulate me. It actually worked so well that I have not had any more major relapses since then. But I used to drink coffee and tea everyday and I think the acid really impacted the sensations and caused acid buildup. If you tend to stress out this can make matters worse. If I eat really well without a lot of acidic foods (soda, coffee, tea, juice, tomato sauce, etc) I feel much better. Lately I have been drinking coffee again and am getting more and more indigestion, hiccups, and the phantom burping sensations... well, there is an eventual burp but it is very brief relief, like you mention.

Good luck feeling better!!
