General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Excessive burping is commonly caused due to gas & bloating. While flying cabin pressure falls, pressure may be felt in the stomach or digestive system.

Cut on caffeine, alcohol, fizzy drinks, take healthy snacks. Avoid greasy food & stress. You can take antacids & PPI's like Pantoprazole, to get the symptoms relieved.

GERD may be the reason to indirectly trigger palpitations. Acid reflux symptoms cause anxiety, chest tightness & hence palpitations.

Other reasons for palpitations are anemia, hyperthyroidism, heart valve issues. You are suggested to visit ER, get physically examined, get done lipid profile, ECG, Echocardiography, stress tests to rule out any developing CAD.

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

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
