A member asked:

For the past couple of years i have started burping a lot, almost excessively. i also have constant shoulder tension. could the two be related?

Dyspepsia: Your symptoms Wayne fall in the broad category of symptoms called dyspepsia. Shoulder discomfort and dyspepsia combination may indicate gall bladder problems. Your physician can order tests to define various causes of dyspepsia including gall bladder disorders.
