What causes constant burping?
Answered by the AskDoc Medical Team · Medically reviewed under our Medical Director, MBBS
Most burping is swallowed air: fast eating, carbonated drinks, chewing gum, drinking through straws, and anxious air-gulping that people rarely notice themselves doing.
Slowing meals and dropping fizzy drinks fixes the majority within a week.
Burping with burning, regurgitation or upper belly pain points to reflux or gastritis, and persistent new symptoms in anyone over 50, or with weight loss or swallowing trouble, deserve investigation rather than habit fixes alone.
