What Causes Headaches With Excessive Burping?

hi, this is for my mom.. for years she's had this condition: she gets a headache, accompanied by feeling as if her blood pressure is not well, excessive burping, it can go for hours.. with small pauses in between.. It's a very bothersome situation for her. Side info: she has high blood pressure & takes a prescribed pill daily for it, she's suffered in the past from high cholesterol.. lately it's been controlled. She also has to be careful with spicy foods, otherwise she'll have problems when going bathroom.. such as blood in #2.. if she doesnt have spicy stuff she's alright from that condition. However the burping/caughing/headeache/nausea, the need to expulse clear phlemgs, keeps recurring & we don't why.. doctors haven't been able to diagnose it or prescribe her anything that works. Help please

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about your Mother and understood the concerns.
Burping, coughing, nausea, headache indicate that this is stress related and akin to migraine or so. Get one MRI of the brain with angiography and if normal get treated as a case of migraine and she may be fine. She has to take the treatment as and when needed.
Since Cholesterol i under control there is nothing to worry about it unless there is more fat in foods and if she does not exercise regularly; at least a long brisk walking is a must.
As for the medications for blood pressure, one has to take these regularly if the stress and anxiety are not under control.
Since spicy food is causing problems in passing stools these have to be strictly prohibited.
I think this covers all the aspects about the illness about your Mother as you have noted.
Proper diet and exercises and changed lifestyle without any stress and anxiety can change to a very healthy life.
I find this answer helpful
