@sueinmn Thanks for the reply. I do different breath and huff coughs with my different exercises. I do usually breath in through the mouth and huff or forced air exhale. I keep trying different things till something works and usually with success. The burping is getting worse and continues through the day. Might have nothing to do with AC…just getting old.

@rosalynclifton I believe that COPD patients are told to sip liquids through a straw so not to pull in air into the lungs. This is so they are not swallowing air....as mentioned by Sue. Swallowing air does cause belching.
Have you researched symptoms of swallowing air???

@rosalynclifton What about using an Aerobika? It helps to control inhales and exhales and might limit the burping. Keep things slow and steady.
