Is burping a sign of something more serious
A burp is worth a thousand words. Usually it’s your body’s way of casually saying, “Hey, everything’s cool here.” After all, a little burping here and there is totally normal: “It just represents the backwards passage of air from the stomach or esophagus up through the mouth,” says Lea Ann Chen, MD, gastroenterologist and assistant professor of medicine at NYU Langone Health. “This air is typically swallowed when we breathe or eat, [which is called aerophagia]. When there’s a sudden release of air into the esophagus that causes it to stretch, there is a reflex that allows our upper esophagus to relax and helps us belch and release the air.”
