argh help please!

ok i know this is a weird question but any answers would be helpfull

is it dangerous to suck burps inwards? not swallowing air but actually sucking the air in so it sounds like a normal burp but in reverse? i don't know why but i do this on a regular basis especially after food and i have done it today and it kind of hurt and now i have a weird sort of pain in my chest about where my lungs are and now i'm really worried that i could be doing damage by doing this. Please help i know it probably sounds silly but im kind of worried now :-( if anyone can give me an answer or reassurance i would really appreciate it

Hi pg,

I am laughing as I am typing this...NOT at you...but because my husband did this very thing as I was reading your post!!! I heard him from the kitchen.;)

He has done this since I have known him (20 yrs) and it has always puzzled me.

It is like some sort of hybrid hiccup-burp! I have often asked him, "Is that a hicccup or a burp?" and he doesn't know how to answer me!

He does it after eating or drinking, and it sounds just like what you describe.

Like I said, I have known him for almost two decades...and he is just fine. I am sure that there is no damage from this body function.;p

Take care!

Hello,

Cat I do the exact same thing sometimes...I had an entire episode of it yesterday. It's the weirdest thing. I have started taking a generic PepcidAc and it has seemed to work rather well with eliminating that and I didn't even have heart flutters last night! Huzzah!
I noticed that whenever I am doing this I am usually sitting down. If I get up and walk around a bit it seems to help release the trapped air "gas". I don't think it is really dangerous to do, but I would always do what I do whenever I tell someone advice like that which is to talk with your primary. :)
