A member asked:
After the anesthetic of the thyroid biopsy wore off i have a lot of "air" i am "burping" which causes pain on my upper back and lungs, is this normal?

Are you forcing yourself to belch? Doing so makes you swallow air and makes you belch all the more. The back discomfort could be caused by air in the esophagus but can also be from positioning of the neck and upper back to make the thyroid more accessible for biopsy. If you experience esophageal discomfort try taking mylanta for acid and gas relief. See your MD.if not improved.
