Can a pneumothorax cause burping too?

Pneumothorax: Yes. there can be irritation of the diaphragm or you could be swallowing air due to the physical effect of the pneumothorax.

Very unlikely: The complications of a pneumothorax would be much more severe, and life threatening. Burping is caused by many things including GERD, over eating, drinking carbonated beverages, and burping occurs naturally as the body eliminates air from the stomach. Do not worry, as burping is normal.
