Overview

Aerophagia is a condition that occurs when a person swallows too much air, which goes to the stomach.

Pathophysiology

Aerophagia can occur without any act of swallowing. A Ukrainian study[2] showed that in people with cervical disease, inhaling also caused air to go down into the esophagus and stomach. The study recommends cervical spine therapy as a method of treatment. Aerophagia is not uncommon in psychiatric disorders. In one case [3], aerophagia was successfully treated with thorazine, a typical antipsychotic sometimes used to treat hiccups.

Causes

Diagnosis

Symptoms

It causes gas bloating of the abdomen and frequent belching. It may cause pain, too, which sometimes is difficult to diagnose.
