What causes constant burping in heart patients?
Patient: Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ?  Please type your query here...One of the symptoms my uncle experienced pre heart surgery was burping, he hoped this would resolve post surgery, but it has not. During surgery he had 5 by-passes and the cardiac surgeon had already told him he had extensive damage to his heart. Can you explain the burping? Doctor: Hello!Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!I understand your concern, and would explain that the burping is not related to the heart. It is related to a stomach disorder or indigestion. Anxiety can also trigger burping. For this reason, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy. Eating in small portions and avoiding spicy food can help too. Hope you will find this answer helpful!Wishing all the best, Dr. Iliri
