Excessive Burping

[Frankie123]

Does anyone else suffer from excessive burping when they are feeling anxious. I am not someone who normally burps but when I am anxious it seems to happen a lot.

I get this often - it comes from hyperventilating. When you are anxious you start overbreathing and thus taking in more breaths than you need breathe out. Whilst you get more tense with anxiety your stomach muscles clench up as the excess gas builds up in your system, pushes up on your diaphragm and is only released when you burp it up basically.

Do you find that as soon as you burp the pressure subsides and you start to calm down?

I do.
