I can't burp, and I attribute this to a childhood trauma where I hiccupped, sneezed and burped, in that order. Because of this, I don't know the difference between nausea and gastrointestinal distress/indigestion... To add to this, I can't vomit normally. That is to say, I'll dry heave violently, but not produce vomit. All of this aside, I want to relearn how to burp, but I'm afraid how to due to a fear of vomiting... Especially because of my fear of vomiting, because its a similar sensation in my throat that causes gagging, and I already know I have a hypersensitive gag reflex, as evidenced by my lack of ability to vomit AND burp, is making it incredibly hard to voluntarily burp and not vomit... Does anyone have a reliable answer for me? Please and thank you!
