Burping After Naps?


Quote  |  Reply

Sometimes I like to take quick power naps by putting my head down on my desk and sleeping for a bit.  Sleeping at my desk prevents me from sleeping too much (like if I were to go lay down) but it still makes me feel more rested when I wake up even if it's only half an hour later.

However, I've been finding that after I wake up, I burp a lot.  Does anyone know what might be causing this?

Do you take these right after lunch???  Could be that your food hasn't digested properly and you are getting a little acid reflux.  It could also be the postition that you are in as well.  Also, if you are taking any new medication or supplements that could be a culprit, too.  If none of the above fits I would call my Dr and ask.  Better safe than sorry!

How interesting! The same exact thing happens to me and I'm not certain why. I think it might have something to do with air somehow making its way into the stomach with your body in that position. It's odd though.

I was thinking that, too.

I don't think it's caused from food not digested properly because it happens no matter how long I wait after eating.  I've had acid reflex, and it's not that.  The burps are generally really loud and long, but actually feel kind of good?  Maybe I'm just weird >_<.  It also only happens after napping; I don't get it in the mornings when I wake up.

That happens to me too!
