How To Stop Uncontrollable Burping?

About 5 days ago I began to belch uncontrollably. This is very out of the ordinary because I usually never burp unless I have a carbonated drink. Nothing in my diet has changed and for the most part, I am feeling just fine. Overtime I inhale however, it seems as though some air gets stuck in my throat and gives me the need to burp. Like I said, I feel ok, but the need to burp every time I breathe is getting quite annoying. What could be causing this?

1. belching or burping is caused by build up of air in stomach but may include medical conditions also, thus investigate for:

. Stool [for amoebiasis,giardiasi]
. Hb% [anemia]
. ultrasonography of gall bladder
. Sigmoidoscopy/Gastroscopy if indicated

2. Avoid oily foods, aerated drinks, smoking,pan chewing, overeating, onions, peas, beans,Dal
. Avoid swallowing of air, e.g. sipping of tea,chewing gum.
. eat slowly,avoid haste.Chew properly.
. close the mouth while belching

3. Abdominal exercises are very useful for chronic flatulence and chronic constipation.
. take a mild tranquiliser along with a digestive enzyme
