What Causes Excessive Burping After Consuming Alcohol?

Hi, I am a 21 year old female who drinks on occasion. Nothing too crazy just a couple nights out of the month. Last night I drank quite a bit and everything seemed fine till I woke up 3 hours after going to sleep with an insatiable urge to burp. I have managed to burp several times since then but the pressure hasn t subsided. Should I be concerned?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Excessive burping after alcohol intake results due to corroding/irritation of the stomach epithelium(lining). The corroded lining gets exposed to acids that cause nausea-vomiting, bloating, burping.

If repeated again & again it can result in anaemia, stomach ulcer, chronic gastritis or complicate to cancer.

Avoid taking alcohol in amounts your system can't tolerate.

Never take it in empty stomach. Take antacids(Rantac-150), once twice daily PPI's(Pantoprazole-40), once daily, gastric enzymes, under a physician. Take probiotics, stay away from addictions & junk food.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
