Hello,
This type of headache is known as ice-pick headache or thunderclap headache. It usually accompanies other types of headaches such as tension type headache, etc. and is mostly a benign condition. Burping may tense your head muscles so, tension type headaches may be triggered in such cases.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
