Understanding the Consequences of Suppressed Burping

Swallowing air is an everyday part of life. If you don't burp, the gas will sit in your stomach or upper intestine and cause bloating and discomfort. If the gas is not expelled through burping, it may cause bloating, stomach cramps, or passing gas. In some cases, people who don't burp may also experience indigestion, heartburn, and nausea.
