What Causes A Dizzy Feeling Followed By Burps?

For several years I get a dizzy feeling followed by burping. I only burp up air with no stomach ache. I feel like if I don't burp I will faint. I force myself to burp and it goes away. This is accompanied by heart palpations. Sometimes I get this attack when I am traveling on the road with hot weather. Today it happened when I got up from bed. I must add that yeast products do sometimes give me this attack but sometimes it happens on an empty stomach. After it is over I feel shaky. Can you figure it out? My doctor told me to lay off yeast products but today it happened again on an empty stomack.

Hello,

Feeling dizzy followed by burping of air only and no stomach contents, increasing with yeast products, accompanied by palpitations all indicate towards the anxiety and/or stress as the causative cause.

This in turn causes lots of aerophagia and hence the need to burp. Palpitations indicate the stress and anxiety provided the cardiac checkup is normal which you should get it done.

Also needed is to rule out hiatus hernia by an upper GI Endoscopy, Esophageal manometry and barium swallow and meals for stomach studies.

This way a proper diagnosis can be made and thus properly treated. Avoid all the foods, aerated beverages and other factors as discussed to get betterment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
