swallowing too much air

Post by giseleharney » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:27 pm

I am wondering if anyone has problems with swallowing air while sleeping I occasionally wake up in the morning with pain in my stomach from too much air.
What to do ?

You're not alone. Do a forum search for aerophagia. Lots of threads and info.
