A member asked:

What should i do to stop excessive burping and chest discomfort?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ronald Krauser answered

See details: You probably have reflux (gerd0. Take an over-the-counter ppi such as Prilosec or Prevacid (lansoprazole) and see if that helps. They do need to be taken daily to help.
