Erection by air on an empty stomach: causes, treatment

An eructation by air on an empty stomach, the reasons of which we will consider below, from time to time there is every person. However, not all understand why this phenomenon is connected. Therefore, in this article, we decided to highlight this issue.

general information

In most cases, frequent eructations, even on an empty stomach, do not represent any pathology. Moreover, such a state is considered a completely normal physiological condition. It is associated with the fact that extra gases emerge from the stomach and esophagus, which are often accompanied by a loud sound. If this phenomenon occurs after eating food, then the eructation can have a rather sharp smell of eaten foods.

However, there are also cases when a person is disturbed by over-regular belching with air on an empty stomach. The causes of this pathology should be identified by medical examination. Typically, these patients are diagnosed with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract or any disruption of the work of individual internal organs.

Erection by air on an empty stomach: causes

At quite healthy people such status can arise seldom or disturb each day. Nothing wrong with that. By the way, in medical practice this phenomenon is called aerophagia.

Ways of treating belching with air, which is not pathological, do not involve the taking of any medication and so on. Moreover, with such a problem, one should not even consult a doctor. After all, this is a perfectly normal state of the human body. You should just simply turn your attention to some aspects and habits in the diet and draw certain conclusions.

So why can there be an eructation of air on an empty stomach? The reasons are hidden in the following nuances:

• Disturbances in nasal breathing;
• Unnecessary conversations during a meal;
• Diseases of the teeth and oral cavity;
• Abuse of (excessive) chewing gum;
• Serious physical activity after eating;
• Second half of the second trimester of pregnancy (due to the fact that the growing womb starts to support the diaphragm).

Other reasons

Why continual belching of air can arise yet? Some experts associate this phenomenon with the following factors:

• Very fast absorption of food or constant snacks on the go;
• Regular overeating;
• Filling the stomach with gases due to excessive consumption of carbonated beverages, including foaming (beer), as well as the intake of baking soda (for example, in getting rid of heartburn);
• Neuroses.

Very frequent belching of the air: prichny, treatment

If this phenomenon is not connected with the above-described reasons and is pathological in nature, then it is necessary to consult with a doctor. After all, this deviation often indicates the presence of various diseases. Which ones, we will consider below.

Diseases causing an eructation by air

Above we have already said that "empty" eructation, not during food intake, can arise due to neuroses. After all, in the process of this pathological conditioned reflex, a person begins to actively swallow the air, which after a while leaves through the oral cavity. To get rid of this problem, it is necessary to treat its cause, that is, neuroses. To do this, consult a specialist.

If the aerophagy is not connected with neuroses and other reasons listed above, then you can easily suspect that you have internal diseases. Among them, I would like to especially note the following:

• Chronic gastritis;
• Upset stomach and stomach tone;
• Pyloroduodenal stenosis;
• Ulcer disease (especially with a high location of ulcerative lesions);
• Cardiovascular failure ;
• Cardiospasms;
• Narrowing of the esophagus;
• Aneurysm of the descending aorta.

Treatment process

After the doctor has prescribed one of the above diagnoses, it is necessary to start treating the disease. Otherwise, the disease will progress, which in the future will not only lead to frequent eructations in the air, but also to other problems.

The methods of treatment of such diseases vary considerably. That's why it should be prescribed only by a doctor and only after a complete examination.

Severe eructation

Now you know why there is a belch. The causes, symptoms and treatment of this pathology, we also considered. But this phenomenon can bother the person and with other abnormalities in the body. Let us consider them in more detail.

• Anatomical pathology of the structure of internal organs, having an innate character. The most common among them are inflection, as well as a narrowing of the lumen of the stomach or hernia of the esophagus.
• Malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Due to the appearance of the tumor, the functioning of the whole digestive system is disrupted. Also, the tumor can interfere with normal digestion and digestion of food.
• Infection of man with such parasites as toxocarans, lamblia and ascarids.
• Constant depression and psychosis.
• Dystonia is vegetative-vascular.
• Diseases of the heart and vascular system (for example, pulmonary artery, thromboembolism, myocardial infarction, ischemia, etc.).

How to treat?

If you do not want to observe this deviation any more, you need to establish its causes. Treatment of belching (the diseases were presented above) should be performed only by a doctor. If drug therapy is not able to cope with the deviation, then the doctor can recommend surgical intervention (for example, in oncology, etc.).

Clinical manifestations

Do you know how eructation is manifested? If not, we will help you to understand its symptoms, as well as the possible causes of the occurrence.

Belching is an active air outlet through the mouth cavity, which is accompanied by a very loud sound. Sometimes it can be "multi-storey". The eructation of air in people suffering from hysteria is often accompanied by loud screaming.

If this phenomenon is connected with the absorption of food, then it manifests itself immediately after a meal. If the digestive tract is disturbed, a belch can be observed constantly and disappear only during sleep.

Often, this condition is accompanied by a feeling of raspiraniya and heaviness in the epigastric region. In this case, the patient can observe bloating and, in some cases, intestinal obstruction.

People with coronary heart disease sometimes complain that, with eructations, they feel quite sharp pains in the left side of the chest and attacks of angina. Most rarely, with this pathology, difficulty in breathing is noted, up to the appearance of asthma attacks.

Examination

Specialists note that the typical belching of air is most often observed in the patient during his examination. And it can disappear if you divert his attention. Usually, the doctor watches as the patient is ready to swallow air. At the same time, he stretches his head forward, and his chin is pressed against the chest. Then the person starts to swallow.

After seeing the aerography, the doctor usually prescribes an X-ray. Thanks to the picture taken, the doctor can determine the standing of the diaphragm and make a more accurate diagnosis. If this problem is associated with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, then the expert should also conduct the EGF.

Belching in children

Aerophagy can suffer not only adults, but also newborn children. As a rule, this is due to the fact that the child's nervous system can not independently regulate the digestive apparatus. Also, the disease often develops and because of sucking an empty nipple or dairy breasts, during which the amount of swallowed air increases.

The main signs of aerophagy in young children are the following:

• Crying during the absorption of food;
• Rapid and severe bloating;
• Refusal to eat and, as a consequence, weight loss.

By the way, during breast feeding the child can regurgitate himself, then start sucking again.

To find out why children have aerography, you should consult a pediatrician. The latter will be able to correctly diagnose only after an X-ray study.

It should be noted that some children get used to swallow the air constantly. It is permissible to exclude a child from this habit by strict regulation of meals.
