Facing Acute Burping And Heaviness In Stomach. How To Overcome This?

i am facing acute burping since last 9 months, my stomach usualy feels very heavy even after light meals.
i have to take an effort in realeasing these burps.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
You are having Acid Peptic disorder with gastro esophageal reflux, due to which you feel fullness and burping. Sometime stomach motility may be the cause.
1) I would like to know if you have undergone upper GI endoscopy and tests for H. Pylori.
2) Are you taking any antacid or treatment at present?
3) Some time stress and anxiety may cause such presentation do you have any?
4) What is the level of Uric acid and any treatment for it?
In the mean time, increase your water intake. Triple therapy for H. Pylori may help you.
Supplement of prebiotics and probiotics helps to reduce distension.
You may have to consult a gastroenterologist for an upper GI endoscopy and appropriate medication.
Hope this information helps you, let me know if can further assist you in this matter.

Thanks for your input,
I have gone through your answers and you seem to be suffering with indigestion as well as acid peptic disease. Therefore my comments are as follows;
1. Please get Upper GI endoscopy after consulting a Gastroenterologist and tests for H. Pylori. There are very good medicines for such disorders and you will benefit from treatment with drugs like Proton pump inhibitors (Omeprazole , Pantoparazole, etc.) along with pro kinetic drugs like Domperidone and Levosulpride. These drugs can be started following endoscopy. You can get these medicines through prescription of Physician/Gastroenterologist.
2. You should take care of diet for uric acid - avoid nonvegetarian and high protein diet and if required take uric acid lowering drugs.
3. I understand water and fluid consumption has been difficult for you. But you should feel better with medications, regular food habits and mild to moderate early morning exercise. Please include these lifestyle changes. Many of my patients have found these changes helpful. You should target drinking atleast 2 litres of water a day.
4. If you want to try homoeopathy, it is your choice. However implement the lifestyle changes for better results.
Hope I have answered your query. If there is any doubt, I will be available to assist you, Otherwise close this discussion and do not forget to rate the answer.
