Hi ,I have asthma ,Bronchietis ,borderline emphasyma ,I also have high blood pressure controlled by medication ,,,,just lately I have started to burp quite a lot ,especially after breakfast when I take my medictation ,and other meal times, anyone else have this problem ,,,,it's just pure air/wind ( from mouth only )
I don't see burping as much of an issue myself, but if you have reflux with it there's excellent medication for that, talk to your doctor.
It's almost certainly one of the medications if that's the only time you burp, check out the manufacturers' info on the internet if you haven't already done so
Thankyou
Hi Nanny1086,
Burping is not a lung or chest issue. It's Gastrointestinal or esophagial. Something is producing air/gas in your stomach or you may have an issue with reflux. You can even get it if you can't breath thru your nose when u eat...meaning your sinuses are swollen so when you eat you basically are chewing and breathing thru your mouth, which can cause burping or air buildup. Also some medications can cause an overproduction of gas. So...you see, it could be several things but not lung or chest. I hope this helps. Be sure and see your Dr and keep us posted. I'd love to know if it's your medication since it shows after taking your meds. ladyjack51
Hi, thanks for your in put ,,,,,before I bother the GP,,,I thought I would try a couple of things first ,,,,I've started to STOP taking all my inhalers and tablets at the same time,,,,,and I've stopped having toast for
breakfast ( someone told me it could be that. ) ,,,,
,and I am currently back with the copd nurses
at pulmary rehab ( after 3 chest infections since September) ,
im also drinking lots of water during exersise,,,,,
I'm hoping things will sort themselves out ,,,and I'll find the solution without going to GP, ,,,,but I will let you know how I get on ,thankyou for taking the trouble to comment ,best wishes ,
Have you checked manufacturers' info in the internet because it's almost certainly from the medications if that's when you burp.
If you have no other digestive symptoms, why is it a problem anyway?
PS: I just noticed you write "inhalers" plural - my gp said to not use spiriva and symbicort (cortisone) inhalers within an hour of each other.
If you're using ventolin, are you using a spacer because you're losing most the beneift if not, or so I've been told.
Maybe you're swallowing too much air with the inhalers
Hi ,no I haven't checked the internet ,as yet ,,,,
the burping bothers me ,,,,,,because,,,,, I don't know really ,,,it just does ,,,I never used to burp like this ,,,,,I will definitely read up on my medication ,thanks for your time ,best wishes,
My inhalers are accuhalers as I find them easier to use as I have arthritis in my fingers ,so can't use a spacer, my inhalers are ,venolin ,seratide and Spireva , and yes I used to take them one after the other,,,,I'll try leaving time between each one ,thanks again ,
I know it's annoying but surely burping with no other symptoms (eg reflux or heartburn) is a very minor issue in the scale of your other health issues? Maybe easier to focus on than the big ones you CAN do something about with rehab?
Just my thoughts, not having a go at you and please let us know what you find out
Sorry, but I don't understand, if you can hold an inhaler why can't you hold a spacer for the ventolin? Spacers aren't relevant for the other two, which are what I use.
I reckon you're just doing too much breathing in with 3 inhalers close on top of each other, didn't they tell you to leave time between? And my recollection from advice given to other people when I did a rehab group, if you're using spiriva and symbicort the ventolin is only for symptomatic relief at other times, not as a preventative, which is what the other two are.
Personally ventolin doesn't make any difference for me because my bronchial tubes are apparently ok.
As it sounds as if yr doctor or doctors haven't given you full instructions on your medication, can you get yourself to a rehab group? I highly recommend it, of course it won't cure anything but it could prolong your life and make your condition easier to deal with
All the best & stay in touch with this forum
Lol....Easy jude65855, easy....you're so funny. I know you mean no harm but sometimes you are a little too blunt with these new folks who don't know your postings and I just want your advice to be received in the context that you mean to give it...it's just your way.
What female likes to burp jude? Come on now....it's annoying and kind of butch and might even smell, so most ladies don't wanna have an issue with it being uncontrollable. I know I wouldn't. Anyway..be nice...I enjoy you and know that you mean no harm. Ladyjack51
It's the pressing down on inhaler ventalin inhaler ,and you can't use a spacer with accuhalers,and no I was never told to leave time between them, until I was rehab Tuesday ,I know that venom in is a reliever and the Otheres are preventers, I have also been attending pulmary rehab on and off since 2008 ,the team that take care of me are brilliant ,and on Tuesday at rehab ,, they told me about leaving time between inhalers ,,,and it was in my notes ,,,I just hadn't read them properly, like you I highly recommend pulmary rehab ,
Hi, I'm not offende by any comments on here, I to find them helpfull and sometimes amusing ,as for the burping ,,,yes it's a minor thing in the big scheme of my health problems ,,,but it's just one more thing to put up with ,,,,or sort out ,hopefully the latter,,,I will keep you all informed of the progress of my burp. Haha ,regards ,,,,
WTF is "butch" about burping? And for that matter, what's wrong with butch?
For goodness sake - yeah burping is ANNOYING but isn't this supposed to be a site about the life threatening conditions under the COPD umbrella?
Take me or leave me and it looks like you're being a bit too protective of the other (presumably) adults on here, nanny isn't having any problem with my comments
Yes I see her reply...didn't want you to get mad. All I meant was...the same way you just cursed at me by saying what the [*****] -wtf-can be offensive...some things you say. She didn't have a problem which was kind of her bc you came on pretty strong with her. But I do have a problem with it now bc I didn't curse at you. However, I'm sorry for trying to ease you back a bit...I just knew this wasn't your first time offending others. I tried to be very nice but should not have said anything to you.
Emis Moderator comment: I have edited this post due to the swearing. These are open forums so as per the T&Cs please do not use offensive language in posts otherwise they may be deleted.
Hhhmmm..they deleted my previous post probably bc I spelled out what you used initials for...that's the same reason I just tried to ask you to ease up bc you can come on pretty hard...not your first time hearing that either. However, you had no need to curse me. But, I'm sorry I said anything to you, even tho I was very nice about it. She was kind and took you with a grain of salt...very sweet of her.
Oh for goodness sake I wasn't cursing you and why do you think I put it in initials? I am not coming on hard, but I'm not soft either. I don't understand the section starting "that's the same reason" and then something about me easing up: my post wasn't deleted by the moderators, yours was!
I didn't notice even a hint of grain of salt in any of Nanny's replies to me: in fact, she accepted the information I gave her in good faith and said she would act on it. "Sweet"? Just seems normal to me .....
Reread what I wrote....I said they deleted MY post. I'm Not gonna argue with you but you yourself said to her that you didn't wanna seem like you were coming for her but....so you knew you were being hard. I've moved on and even answered a posting of yours so no grudges. We both know what "wtf" means...stop denying everything. Let's just move on. There are no winners here.
I know that! I was pointing out they didn't delete mine because of the initials but did delete yrs because you put the words in full, which is to be expected. "coming for her"??? I never used those words, which are totally meaningless to me, and I was not being "hard".
I will keep denying every false idiotic accusation you make, do you think I'm just going to let them stand without explaining myself? I'm not into the winners and losers concept actually but I'll be glad to move on from having to keep correcting your misreadings, misinterpreations and misquoting, not to mention outright invention of things I never wrote eg "coming on?"
