Hiccup/burp when the point is press

Burp pain release

I finally found a link to a very perplexing symptom tha I have had for a few years. I have trigeminal neuralgia, and was sent to physical therapy to try to help the pain. The therapist used her gloved hand to push on the inside of my r mouth . As she pressed, burps came out. She would also get burps when pressing on shoulder or back. She had never seen this response. We laughed and agreed that it was a blessing tha it wasn't from the other gas maker. I have pains in my toes, and multiple places on my body, they give me a zing, electric pain, then here comes the burp which almost always relieves the pain. I was examined by a neurologist who noted the burping during palpation and discussed it with a G I doctor. She swears I must be swallowing air. No I'm not. Not more than anyone else. The pressing on my body evokes the burp. I don't burp when just sitting around. My feet and hands have problems with being cold/ hot/ painful/ numb. At night my husband will rub my feet in a pattern of squeezing between the metatarsals up the length of the crevass of each joint area from distal to proximal. He gives a few presses from top and bottom which relieve the "full feeling in my foot. He does each space. Then he puts floppy socks on my feet b/ my feet are almost always cold, but can't stand any tightness from regular sock. Any time pressure is applied to my body I burp. Even if not in any pain. So if the cat walks across my chest, I burp. If my hubby gives me a hug I burp. If my son gives me a backrub I burp. I have no other GI problems. I do have multiple undiagnosed neurological problems that don't seem to have a common link. I am 51 years old. Up till 6 years ago I was a healthy active RN who worked full time, lived on a farm, was up from sunup to sundown and loved life. FYI other health problems Trigeminal neuralgia Central sleep apnea Neurogenic bladder Fatigue Decrease in ability to plan and make big jobs happen Slowness to my general activity and walking speed Numbness hands and feet cold feet Facial flush/ pulsing burning. Have to use wet washcloth on face Heat intolerance. Can't deal with heat over 70 degrees. Become fatigued, shower over and over to cool. Trouble climbing stairs. Use handrails to pull self. Use big dog to pull me up hill on walk. Decrease in feeling of lateral foot edge leads to falls into walls. My neuro still can't diagnose me. She said she may send me to UW soon. These all started 5 years ago. So, there is my two cents on the burping. Hopefully information gathering on the Internet can help us all.
