Is Excessive Burping A Symptom Of Cancer?

I have pain in my mid/upper back and an ALT of 78 and I have been burping a lot. These symptoms all started recently. Can this be cancer? I am very frightened. I have recently had an X-ray and ultrasound done, but have not heard back from my doctor.

Hi thanks for your question
Relax burning sensation in upper abdomen cannot be cancer. Most probably you’re suffering from APD that is acid peptic disease, in which there is increased acid production in stomach from variety of causes,commonest being the stress, cigarette smoking and alcohol. Re consult your treating physician to know about the ultra sound and x ray report and he may prescribe you treatment for burning pain.ALT level of 78 is high but single abnormal reading and single test is insignificant.
Hope this answers your question.
