What Causes Inability To Burp Despite Having An Urge To Do?
Hi I m wondering what it s called when you can t burp? Is it a medical condition? If so what is the name? I m unable to burp when I need to but every few months or so a random burp will just come but then it s straight back to not being able to burp! Please tell me if this is normal or not. Thank you.

Hello,
Many upper gastrointestinal disorders can either cause frequent burping or the inability to burp. These include peptic ulcers, acid reflux or gastroparesis. These conditions can benefit from some of the techniques to induce burping. Avoid foods that makes gas like lentigues, drink sparkling water take antacid medications.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
