I have a condition that makes me feel like burping,but can't do it. I also have a quite tender,painful sternum that seems as though it's being pushed out.
Can someone shed light on this painful situation?

Hi, I'm 17 years old, and I have the same problem. When I was a baby, and my mother tried to burp me, it either didn't work at all, or i would burp up partially digested food. Then when I got a little older, I developed Pectus Carinatum... here's a link if you don't know what that is... nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003321.htm ... Even now, after years of growth and development, I still have a slightly pointed sternum, AND it is physically impossible for me to burp. I can eat and drink as much as I want, soda, beans, anything that causes gas, and still not burp. I have tried EVERYTHING, even once tightening a belt around my stomach to the point where it felt like my guts were going to pop, and still nothing. I get odd gurgling sounds instead, and I've come to learn how to suppress the sound. I've never felt actual pain, just a bloated, uncomfortable feeling. So I know what you're feeling. I've never told a doctor about the burping problem, but I have been treated for pectus carinatum...although the treatment plan was to painful so I gave up and am waiting for my insurance to cove the alternative surgery option. Hope this helps a little.

Hi,
I want to know how can we teach the patient after laryngectomy to burp voluntarily. Can you help me out?

I am unable to swallow solid food very easily and afterwards cannot burp properly. Have tried baking soda, ginger ale, club soda, to no avail. Uncomfortable feeling. Could this be some sort of medical condition?
