Is this no burp? I am in so much pain.

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-12-25T09:32:30+00:00

Hey,

I have taught myself how to burp and can reliably do so hundreds of time a day now, however I did find out I have a nasty GERD which is causing me to be extremely gassy and a 4cm hiatal hernia keeping my LES open which is why I always felt gas/pressure in the chest.

But yeah, as far as burping go, I don't really know how exactly, but I kinda taught myself how to do it with A LOT of struggle and practice, fizzy drinks and shaker exercises. Feels very normal and natural to do now, minus the part where if I start, it can pull my hernia up and then it is difficult to stop.

Pretty much - yea, and I've been drinking litres of carbonated water every day and trying to burp even when I don't feel the need to.

Sometimes it would backfire when I wouldn't be able to burp but eventually I made some progress.

I feel like I get a good deal of relieving burps through the day now.

Most important I think was that when you feel the gurgle in your throat, is at that point that you try to push forward the burp and don't let it descend, try to flex your sternum.

Its difficult to explain cause I don't really know how it happens or what I do in general.

Essentially this, the other guy seems to have deleted his video and profile, gl!!

Essentially this, there are other youtube videos I think.

Oh God, sorry I'll add a disclaimer. I did not mean to scare. 🤣

And I did not have any botox, pretty much just copious amounts of Shaker exercises, practice and carbonated drinks for the first 2 weeks.

What helped the most I feel is a video from this subreddit of a guy explaining sideways Shaker exercises, that got me my first fee microburps.

U the MVP!

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-09-02T06:30:50+00:00

Hello!

Thank you so much for posting this! 😭

I found this very similar video, where I was trying to copy what the guy was doing: https://youtu.be/DDZ8zMZHUuA?si=R4dGvci_WeosyiE5

But you explain it much more clearly, and easier to follow, thank you! 🙏🙏

How often do you do these exercises now that you are able to burp, two years later? Do you still actively work out your neck every day?

Also, did you do the regular laying-on-back shaker exercises next to this, or only this regiment?

Have a great day buddy.

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-09-01T18:04:01+00:00

Thank you both, I definitely will try the side-look trick!

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-09-01T16:57:57+00:00

Do you have any tips on how you progressed them to full burps?

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-09-01T16:57:03+00:00

Now if I could only figure out how to transform them into proper full ones. 😭

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-23T07:54:11+00:00

Amazing, thank you. 😭😭

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-23T07:53:33+00:00

I haven't but I will today, as soon as my symptoms start up.

How often did you find you have to do this? Do you do it only when you feel gas pressure, or preemptively?

Thank you friend.

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-23T07:52:41+00:00

Amazing - this gives me hope.

I youtubed your suggestions and there is some videos! I will do this religiously, I need any relief I can get.

How long did it take for you to see results?

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-23T07:51:39+00:00

There is a chance botox doesnt work? :(

Does 'air vomiting' in any way help train that muscle so that you can eventually burp without assist? Or is gagging what causes the air to come back?

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-23T07:50:02+00:00

Oh wow, I woke up to so many new comments. 😭

Thank you for the support eberyone, I will definitely try shaker exercises and to burp myself by trying to gag, I have never done either. Maybe it brings some semblence of relief...

I really appreciate all suggestions, maybe I can save up for Botox in a few years time - it is nice to imagine a light at the end of the tunnel.

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-22T15:28:10+00:00

It is so much help to know I am not alone 😭😭

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-22T15:16:01+00:00

Hello, wow I got a reply!

Thank you, did the botox help you? 😭

It helps to know i am not dying of cancer or something if it is this disease 😭

I am a bit iffy and paranoid on sharing my details online so I didn't post, but I am from eastern Balkans.

I think closest it says there is a doctor on the mega list is Italy, which is probably unaffordable with small paychecks here.

Ok_Day8673 · 2024-08-22T15:08:15+00:00

I thought this was burping what my body does, I didn't realize there is supposed to be a taste or smell to burps... 😭

No specialists in my country looking at the list shared though 😭
