Is burping a side effect of chemo?

@lls8000 Lisa, I had lobectomy end of March. Then radiation and chemo simultaneously. Radiation ended June 17. Last chemo infusion July 6. I have been reporting a gasp that happens suddenly, once causing me to aspirate some oatmeal. Dr just blew it off. Likely due to my poor description. Maybe it’s like a hiccup. That didn’t occur to me because I’ve never had a hiccup that didn’t continue more than a single gasp. I’m also having some gurgling and burping. It seems to be getting more frequent not less. I’ve been taking Pepcid for a week. Is there something that works better? Will it go away? Is this acid reflux? Never had this before.

@bdurel
I had hiccups apparently from the steroid they give during chemo. They would last for days until the steroid was out of my system. My Dr. prescribed baclafel? for hiccups and it solved it. My next three chemo sessions I would take the baclafel? as soon as the injected the steroid and I could sleep without hiccups.
