Thanks dr. Shehu!
I also forgot to mention that I'm not consuming any foods mentioned in your answer, nor do I drink any carbonated drinks.
Burping happens every time I eat or drink something.

Brief Answer:
Great...follow other advice...

Detailed Answer:
Hi back XXXX,

Ok, then, when a diagnosis is made, there are many factors to be considered. Then, by a deduction, we finalize the final diagnosis.

In your case, that's great if you do not consume the foods/drinks that I mentioned earlier.

Follow the advice as given earlier, and discuss with GI specialist to schedule upper endoscopy.

In a month time, you will have great improvement hopefully.

All the best!
Dr.Klerida
