A member asked:

1)burping and 2)sensation in upper abs and chest joint area together is a sign of stomach gas? or acidity?suggest some quick remedy except medicine.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Multiple things: Caffeine, cigarette smoke, and alcohol will all make it worse. Over eating, eating too fast, and eating and laying down will all make it worse. 1 tsp of baking soda in 8 oz of water will help. Gaviscon is a eructation agent available otc.
