Hi Anonymous,

Breast tenderness or fullness is usually a premenstrual symptom. Breasts that are swollen, red and warm to the touch, and sore indicate an infection

Burping 3 or 4 times after eating a meal is normal and is usually caused by swallowing air.

Poor dietary habits are more often than not the cause behind constant burping. Eating too much of fatty and highly processed foods, and fast foods leads to excessive gas production in the digestive tract. Eating too many chocolates and too much acidic foods also has a similar effect. There are many vegetables such as beans, onion, cabbage etc. that cause formation of excessive gas.

There are a wide variety of digestive disorders that can lead to excessive formation of gas and as a result, constant or excessive burping. Some of these common digestive disorders include gastroesophageal reflux disease, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome, hiatal hernia and gastric ulcer,. Eating fatty food also leads to excessive production of gas or flatulence.

Anonymous, start with simple lifestyle changes.

Eat and drink slowly.
Do not breathe with your mouth as it leads to swallowing of air. Whenever possible, breathe through your nose. Similarly, avoid eating with your mouth open.
Do not remain nervous and anxious as anxiety and nervousness is associated with involuntary gulping of extra air.
Limit the intake of carbonated or aerated drinks.
Do not smoke or chew gums.
Limit the intake of alcohol, tea and coffee.
Limit the intake of foods which produce excessive flatulence such as beans, lentils, broccoli, cauliflower, chocolate, onions, apples, peaches, and sugar.

If the constant burping persists, and causes you concern, consider speaking with your physician.

Regards,
