Excessive ‘empty’ burps! Has anyone had an actual diagnosis?

[LynAsh]

I’m at the end of my tether..
it’s daily and constant and feels at time that air bubbles come up in my chest making me feel extremely uncomfortable and as if I have to burp to release!
At times it’s made me feel lightheaded and I go into a panic attack…

I am getting NOWHERE with my GPs, I have mentioned it constantly over the last few years, it’s got worse and I’m being completely ignored.

Has anyone ever had anything that I can go in and INSIST they get me examined appropriately and not just ‘assume’ it’s something not to worry about, it’s honestly sending me stir crazy 😓

Thanks.

Reflux? People feel symptoms in different ways, a tightness, a pressure, a lump in the throat, increase in burping, you don't necessarily have the acid taste in your mouth
Have you tried keeping a food diary? (I find eating bread causes my symptoms - I'd describe it as feeling a tightness /weight on my chest, and a sort of a difficulty catching my breath) You could give gavison a go, which you can get OTC to see if it helps or asking for a prescription of landsoprazole to see if it makes a difference

Are you on any weight loss medication?

I would also suggest reflux.
