Posting here for traffic.
For the past 4/5 days I’ve been suffering with bloating and trapped wind and I’ve weirdly lost the ability to burp!!! It’s not trapped gas in my intestines (so it doesn’t want to come out the bottom end!) it’s all in my stomach and whatever I do I can’t get it out!
I feel as if I’ve got a gas bubble stuck in my throat. When I try to burp nothing comes out or I get this strange gurgling sensation / noise and a little bit of relief but not a proper burp. I’ve tried rennies to no avail. I’ve tried drinking fizzy pop to get a load of gas inside me to force it out but it didn’t help. I feel broken and uncomfortable.
I’ve been taking fluoxetine for several weeks for anxiety and depression so I’ve heard that can cause digestive issues (I did feel nauseous for a few weeks but that has subsided). I have a doctor’s appointment on Monday next week but I’m going to Poland on Thursday for a friend’s birthday and fear the increased air pressure on the plane may make me explode!!! (and I just generally want to be comfortable for the trip).
I feel like a big inflated beach ball with a constant lump in my throat like I need to be sick.
Anyone have any remedies / advice before I go mad or call a vet to cut a hole in me like when cows and horses get bloat!!!
