Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stuck feeling in throat and excessive burping which is mainly due to production of acid/ bile and accumulation of gas due to too much swallowed air, which cause releasing the air to reduce the distention of the stomach due to burping. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration. You should take few preventive measures such as keep bed raised on bed side. Avoid large meal. You should take small but frequent meals. Avoid hot, sharp spicy foods as it will leads to excessive acid production. Take diet rich in soft, plain and fiber rich food. Avoid taking stress. Avoid pulses, chocolates, fatty food from diet. Take prokinetics such as Domperidone.Take antacids such as omeprazole after meals. If symptoms keeps on persisting, visit Gastroenterologist once for evaluation and start treatment as per diagnosis. Your symptoms will resolve.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
