Is belching with air only a sign of some disease? I often bounce like this during the day.
Frequent belching with air occurs in people with the so-called aerophagy. Everyone swallows a certain amount of air while eating or speaking. Some people, as a result of neurotic disorders or stress, swallow larger volumes of air - such people are said to have aerophagy. Swallowed air accumulates in the stomach and is periodically expelled by belching. Sometimes the mechanisms of gastric emptying are not sufficiently effective, in such cases, in addition to belching, flatulence is often present. Usually, symptoms related to excessive swallowing of air intensify in the evening hours. People who talk a lot or eat too quickly also increase the amount of air they swallow - they are the first to finish eating when they eat at a table with other people. The greatest improvement occurs when you change your habits about eating or speaking too fast or by eliminating the stress factor.
