I'm dealing with constant burps throughout the day for about a month now. I've visited the doctor three times and tried different medicines like Pantocid DSR and Rantac MPS for the first 10 days without any relief. Then, the doctor switched me to Sompraz L for another week, and now I'm taking Ganaton. I don't have any abdominal pain, I'm eating less spicy and oily foods, drinking plenty of water, and I don't smoke or drink. I go for regular walks and I'm not overweight, but I still feel like there's air bubbling up my throat, making me feel like I need to burp it out. There's no smell or taste to these burps, but it's messing up my daily life and it's really embarrassing around others. The doctor has now suggested I get an endoscopy this weekend to find out what's going on. Do you have any advice on what might be causing this or any tips on how to control it?

It's good that your doctor has recommended an endoscopy to further investigate the issue. You can continue with your current lifestyle modifications of avoiding spicy and oily foods, staying hydrated, and maintaining regular physical activity. These measures, along with the prescribed medications, may help alleviate your symptoms until the underlying cause is identified through the endoscopy.

I've been dealing with chest pains for the past year and just recently, theyve gotten really intense. I've had all sorts of tests done ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood work like hscrp and cholesterol and everything comes back normal or borderline. Heres the thing, when I take gas tablets, I feel a lot better, but I can't shake off this anxious feeling, and I keep thinking negatively. Ive seen about ten cardiologists, and they all say my heart is fine, but the anxiety just wont go away. Is this heart pain or something like GERD? My heart races when I hear bad news, and it's making me uneasy even though there's no family history of heart issues. I'm 29. The pain sometimes hits my rib side, other times its in the upper chest, and it's sharp. Bloating seems to make it feel easier, and when I overthink, my breathing feels weird but it settles down in about 45 minutes. What could be causing all this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety along with your chest pain. The fact that your cardiac tests have come back normal is reassuring. To address your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication for your possible GERD symptoms and an anti-anxiety medication for your anxiety symptoms. For your chest pain relief, you can take over-the-counter antacids like Tums (calcium carbonate) as needed for gas relief. For your anxiety symptoms, you can try an anti-anxiety medication like Xanax (alprazolam) at a low dose as prescribed by a doctor. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga may also help alleviate your symptoms.
