Could obsessive burping be a sign of early lung cancer? Im 18, female, weigh about 135 pounds and am 5 5 . I NEVER burped until about August 2012 and now its almost hard to control. I have no idea why. I also have frequent swollen lymph nodes, and every morning my tongue has swollen bumps on the side. Over the past month, taking deep breaths makes my chest ache and stretch for a moment as well. I am rediculously fatigue despite the amount of sleep i get, am sometimes nauesious.
