I have never been able to burp and found this subreddit not long ago. I have pretty much daily trapped gas after eating /drinking that causes pains.
I have ibs like symptoms and nothing really works to relive gas pains
Is this a common thing for anybody?
I'm seeing a cardiologist and have a lot of upcoming tests on my heart (pots, stress echo, etc). Randomly through out the day I get heart pain, racing heart, palpitations, etc. I'm wondering if anyone else who has RCPD also deals with this and it could be related to trapped gas.
i’ve never been able to burp, and over the last couple of years it became really bad, i’ve had severe bloating and pain and the gurgles are genuinely insane and so loud. however i’ve recently just randomly started burping? i still have the gurgles daily and i can’t always get them out, but i’m burping a lot as well, it’s so strange and takes me by surprise every time.
i haven’t done any exercises, i haven’t had the botox and i still have bad emetophobia. absolutely nothing has changed about my life so i don’t get why this is happening, i’m hoping it’ll get even better and that the rcpd will eventually fully go away. has anyone else experienced this? or does anyone have any ideas as to why this has randomly happened?
CONTEXT: Jack Franks was a legend in this community when it was still small and growing. This video was the first I saw of someone going into depth about the condition, getting the botox and filming the results of it.
I had heard he actually killed himself a few years back. Very sad. I never knew him, but I always think about him when I think about RCPD. I've been burping for two years now post-botox and I can say this guy and this video were a huge help for me.
I just wanted to get on my soapbox and pay some respects to the legend years later. RIP, wish you got to see the burping world you helped to create 🫡
No context to the voice memo I sent to my bf but I was laughing so hard the trapped air in my oesophagus made itself be known in a demo like way, has anyone else had this happen before lmaoooo a bit of a funnier side of the horror that is R-CPD. It happens around 0.15-0.16 seconds btw lol
I think you guys have done me a massive favor and I really want to say thank you for it.
I have been existentially fearful about my body’s issues for the last week and it’s been both a huge distraction and a barrier to living my life. But that changed today when one post on this subreddit taught me how to burp myself and another explained the mechanic of what was making my heart misbehave based on their own experience.
I’ve had a high heart rate for days. Later on in the day, I seem to have an easier time keeping it managed on the lower end through hydration, but overnight especially when I was laying flat in bed I’d have issues with waking up with a raised heart rate that got worse if I tried to get up and move, triggering palpitations. I kept getting woken up in the middle of the night for seemingly no reason and I haven’t slept more than three consecutive hours at night (my record on Tuesday was 5 total, with interruptions) in almost a week. I’ve had cardiac tests done that all came back fine and I’m still wearing the Zio monitor, but it seems likely it’ll all come back as sinus rhythm.
Yesterday, I developed strong burning in my chest and throat after eating something that I was worried was an allergy and I ended up at the ER. Thankfully, my very kind PA reassured me that my tissues looked mildly irritated but that was likely due to my existing GERD and I thought damn…this is the craziest reflux I’ve ever had. That would suck if this is the new normal for me now.
And then, today. Sleep deprived. No food would go down without adding to the burning. I suddenly got an idea and started looking up burping techniques out of pure frustration. Yesterday, getting my echo, I had noticed a heart rate fall for an hour or so as my tech pressed the ultrasound wand into my aorta area and I heard and felt a bubble shift around in there, so the idea of gas was planted but not fully understood yet.
Thanks to all of you, I finally burped this afternoon. And the burning subsided almost immediately. And then I’ve burped again. And again. And again. Even a really big one! And my resting heart rate has dropped so much already in between times when a new burp builds up. I’ve been drinking so much water since I got Covid a few weeks ago, I’ve been diluting my stomach acid too much, creating extra gas that I’m simply not releasing as I should be.
I know I’m not out of the woods yet, I have to manage my diet the next few weeks and work to make sure the air is getting freed up when it starts to cause pressure for me again, but hopefully with some work, in a couple of days, I’ll be back to a relatively normal pace of life.
Just effortlessly laying in a chair with the laptop on my stomach, not a care in the world.
Had my first ever half liter/500m of coke ever ever ever (we're talking decades) and having a relaxed feeling in my whole torso!
Small burps after each large sip. With some effort, but they provided the relief needed!
