A member asked:
I cannot burp, except involuntarily (like gas just escapes from my throat). and i rarely burp at all except when i have a headache. is this a concern?

Not really: You might have exceptionally good muscle tone in the upper and lower esophageal sphincters. As long as there is no problem eating or drinking, i see no problem. If there are swallowing problems , throat pain, bloating, abdominal pain, problems with bowels, heartburn, and other issues, then see GI and ENT md's.

What is causing me to burp constantly? It feels like there is gas stuck in my chest and the pressure is giving me headaches.
Almost every morning for the past 1-2 months, I wake up with the feeling that I have to burp, like there's gas trapped in my chest/throat. Eventually I burp, but sometimes I have to force myself to do so. This isn't nausea, right?
