What Causes Excessive Burping And Indigestion?

Hello. I have been experiencing excess burping and indegestion/acid on and off for a year. I take omeprazol every morning and it keeps it at bay somewhat. The indegegstion/burping/acid goes away for weeks but always eventually comes back. Is this something to be concerned about?

Hello
Such type of symptoms may be due to these possibilities , these include:
1 The first possibility is of hyper acidity or Hiatus hernia . Diagnosis can be confirmed by Upper G I endoscopy .
Try raising the head of your bed about 4 inches with blocks when you sleep. It might also help to avoid eating or drinking for 2-3 hours before you lie down. To help control stomach acid one should drink alcohol or drinks with caffeine in them or eat chocolates or pizza or burger or spicy or greasy foods.
Also take some antacid with omeprazole . Take this treatment for 1-2 months with above mentioned measures.
With these measures and this treatment you will feel fine.
2 The next reason of such symptoms are indigestion due to over eating , so if possible avoid over eating . Take some enzyme preparation immediately after meal .
3 Tension , anxiety and hectic hurried life style are other possible reasons of such symptoms .
So be careful,about these predisposing factors.
Good luck.
These symptoms are not a cause of concern but modification in life style will change whole symptoms.
