burping helps?

[Sister Fox]

usually i feel n* all day everyday
i carry around sparkling water which makes me burp and in turn heals the nausea unless im really ainxious
does anyone else have this? does burping cure anybody else?
because it really does to me and i get really ainxious when i don't have the sparkling water w/me, ahaha

I love to burp! It makes me feel soooo much better if I'm panicking! I always carry ginger ale or sprite.

a lot of times, when I think I'm sick or my stomach hurts really badly or my chest is cramping and I can't figure out why, eventually I get to burp. it makes me feel SO much better, because I know that if I'm burping it's just gas and not puke. when I'm having a panic attack I always suck in too much air and end up with tons of trapped wind in my stomach. initially I feel like I'm gonna throw up and I freak until I start to burp and relieve the pressure. it helps me out a lot to get the gas out, and I feel lots better knowing that its just air in my chest that I sucked in from eating too fast and that it's working its' way out.

Hmm, sometimes. But yes I do agree with the poster that said when they burp it feels good because you know it wasn't v*. I'm constantly belching and always worried I'm going to v* eventually, but I never do lol.

Yes, makes me feel so much better. I always take a small cup of coke or sprite and drink it when I feel sick. I wish I could just make myself burp but I never can. Once I do though, so much better.

omg i have the same problem!!! I'm a 16 year old girl but I've had extreme stomach issues for 2 years, over the past 6 months they have been so terrible...I have felt extremely nauseous for six months straight...I have had a lot of gas, loss of appetite and I felt pain in my left-center side (now both left-center & lower) as well as frequent burning and reflux. I'm going to see an ivy league specialist friday about it, but burping temporarily relieves it as well as mint gum! When I feel nauesous (which is everyday) I chew mint gum and burp and I'm temporarily relieved.

Hey, I experience exactly the same as you do! I think I have acid reflux too, which doesn't help. Sometimes I would burp and get an awful sick taste in my mouth which freaks me out! I've heard it's definitely due to acid reflux.

Burping definitely helps me!! Coke is part of my "safety kit," because it always makes me burp when I'm panicky. I was just posting earlier how one of my panic tell-tale signs is when I kind of hit my chest (like you would burp a baby but on the chest not back?). It looks absolutely ridiculous but I feel better when I burp! I'm sure all the deep breaths I take when I'm having am attack don't help the trapped air in my system

By the way, it is amazing to me how all of us share the same phobia, which is mentally-focused, but have so many of the same physical symptoms. Are they all psychosomatic? I wonder... Or does our anxiety truly produce these physical symptoms? Not sure, but I do find it really interesting...
