I couldn’t burp – I made embarrassing ‘dinosaur’ noises and couldn’t stop farting
A WOMAN endured years of making 'embarrassing' noises like a 'dinosaur' and breaking wind in front of her boyfriend as she couldn't burp.The 34-year-old, from Kettering, Northamptonshire, first noticed her symptoms at 17-years-old, but she said they have become debilitating over the last two years.Her symptoms became so severe and frequent that it "consumed her whole life" as she began to fear going out.
"I started to notice it when I would go out all day. So if I had been like going out having a meal, having"I would get very very bloated and very uncomfortable and it would get to the point where it was so bad that I had to lay down because it was so painful."I've got loads of people around me that don't really care, they know my situation.""I'd wake up, I'd have two good hours and then I'd have all my symptoms.
"It basically just consumed my whole life. It got to the point when I was in my mid-20s when I would dread going out all day. It occurs when the cricopharyngeus muscle, a sphincter muscle that sits at the top of the oesophagus, can't relax.Belching is a normal biological process that allows the body to ejects air from the oesophagus and stomach into the throat, pushing it out from the mouth or nose.This causes loud gurgling noises from the neck and chest, bloating and discomfort in the neck, chest, and abdomen, and excessive flatulence.For many, this is a lifelong condition.
"I felt very very helpless because I was just like, if these a hundred units aren't working what is going to help me?""By the time I got on the train I was in so much pain that when my boyfriend picked me up from the train station I literally laid in the back of his car and I was just sobbing because I was just like why isn't this working the way it should be working.
