CAN'T BURP and feel like I will die from it!
I have searched and read and can't find anything to explain this weird thing I have going on. I had gallbladder removed 20 years ago and had this prior to that.. then it stopped after surgery but now has returned only worse... usually late at nite, ( I am a nite shift worker so I am usually up and eat in late hours) anyway, sometimes I will need to burp and just can't. It feels like my stomach will explode, it gets very distended and hard during these episodes. It feels like if you drank a coke and were unable to burp after... It is horrible and I get very panicky and usually have to walk the floor till the burp finally comes up. Usually takes about an hour.. I have nearly gone to the ER twice. I am not a "belcher" but do usually burp after eating.. but in this case, it's like something has "locked up" and is not functioning properly. This is a horrible feeling... I would prefer pain, and I have had gallstones and kidney stones, so I know about pain. Doc appt next week... in the meantime any info will be greatly appreciated. Pammee
