Can Excessive Burping Damage The Heart?
I have recently been ill with an infection in the kidney, with a fever of 101 to 102 for a week. I also had kidney stones that have been removed. For the past ten days I have been lightheaded, dizzy, have extreme fatigue after doing light activity. ( I sleep four to five hours almost daily) become breathless and sometimes I become nauseous.I also burp a lot. Could I have damaged my heart?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that kidney infection can effect your blood pressure and your heart health. Most likely causes of nausea and breathlessness is your kidney infection which needs further evaluation. Kindly consult a nephrologist personally for further evaluation of kidney disease and get an ECG and Echocardiography done to exclude any associated Cardiac Disease.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
