Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having stress and panic disorder related GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
So first of all consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Once your stress and panic is treated, your GERD and burping will also subside.
For quick relief in burping at present, do following things.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
2. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach.
3. Go for walking after meals.
4. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
