...Of belching. Seriously. That doesn't sound normal.
I've been swallowing my belches down when I feel them happening, because I'm terrified of what happens whenever I do accidentally let a belch out. My tongue feels strange, I taste metal, my throat burns slightly, mucus in my throat makes me cough, my throat becomes tight, my nose runs and my ears feel blocked. All because of one or two little burps.
I'm utterly terrified of reflux, or carrying acid/pepsin up my throat, so I try and stop myself burping. Of course when I swallow gas back down, it always comes back up again if I so much as take a sip of (alkaline) water. Am I doing more harm than good here? What's the best way to get over my phobia? :p
