What Causes Excessive Belching And Soreness In The Right Underarm?
I have been having a lot of digestion problems before & after after my right lower arm was sore around my veins. As I rubbed my arm I belched a lot. I have been drinking some Braggs organic apple side vinegar with water which is suppose to help but, I keep belching with indigestion. This is the second time this has happened. Also, today I ate scrambled eggs & onions plus sipped on chicken broth. I still have indigestion & when Imrub some of my under arm near my right hand I belch.

Hello,
Lots of belching, gases, and release on putting pressure on left arm indicate that you have basically a problem with the gastrointestinal system. Pressure on arm causing belching can be due to some neurological connections at a spinal level giving this. Hence I would like to advise you the following:
-Consult a gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation and examination.
-Investigations as advised such as upper GI endoscopy.
-Ultrasonography and CT scan of the abdomen when required.
-Test of stool, blood, and urine.
-Any other investigations.
-A course of antibiotic, metronidazole and probiotic.
-Activated charcoal, PPI like omeprazole and domperidone.
You may need surgery if there are gallstones, intestinal obstruction etcetera. Follow the advice.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant

Hello,
Belching and right underarm pain is probably not related. Belching may be due to gastritis or Irritable Bowel syndrome or inflammatory bowel problems or infections etcetera. Right underarm pain may be due to boils or carbuncle or muscle spasm etcetera. Until the examination is done it is difficult to say what it is. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
