Hiccup/burp when the point is press

Explore the positioning of the phrenic nerve - that is the nerve that innervates the diaphragm which couls apasm and cause the hiccoughs

It is a good appearance when you treatment the patient burp out, that means the bad energy come out of her body.

Thank you

We, the whole family, call her Nenek (or Granny, in English.) Ow, not that she’s my grandmother. She’s just a 71 year-old masseur who’s, amazingly, still kicking and alive (otherwise she’d just massage herself instead, wouldn’t she?)

When she first arrived at our house to massage me, she burped. And when she was massaging me, she burped again and again. I thought that was just her old-age habit. But then, as if she could read my wondering mind, she explained to me that she would burp everytime someone needed her help and when she is massaging her client (so I suppose it’s like her “sensor” thingy.) In her opinion, there is some kinda unhealthy air within the unwell muscles and that air has to be drawn out, and at this point she usually burps. Meanwhile, I failed to reach the common sense while trying to picture her explanation in my mind *sigh*

On top of it all, Nenek is a very nice old woman. Very polite. She, in an undeniable way, brings warmth to everyone in the house every time she comes.

Anyway, I still don’t get the logic behind the ‘unhealthy air’ and ’burp’ until now. Maybe I should just ask her again next time. Or can anyone please explain the mechanism (whadda…) to me?

i have also had a consistent condition in which i experience an uncomfortable "fullness" or "feeling of air trapped under my shoulder blade area"... and when i have someone push in particular spots, i burp. the burp provides relief. i have had this condition for at least 8 years. 8 years ago it was a funny & unexpected &#39trick&#39 that i could show close friends and family, while also getting relief of the air... they would never believe that the burp was related to them pushing on my back where i told them too. i have been involved in yoga for decades, with great body awareness, so i knew confidently that it was connected. back then, it was just once in a while, and also exclusively just under my left shoulder blade. nowadays (and for past 2-3 years) it seems to occur while pressing in other areas of my body as well... they have this feeling of &#39discomfort & fullness&#39 and when i press on them air is relieved... this now includes my feet, forearms, calves, under both scapulae, neck, shoulders, quadraceps, spine, the sides of my lower back, and even the palms of my hands.

i&#39m uncertain what this is... i have been searching online for information or other people&#39s accounts for the past 8 years and tonight was the very first time i&#39ve heard of anyone else with this condition. i&#39ve always had a sense it could be an imbalance or a progressive disease of some sort, but have just been grateful that i&#39ve found a way to relieve the discomfort / air pressure i feel in various body parts.

i don&#39t have health insurance and haven&#39t told any western medicine doctors about it. i am a yoga teacher and also as a line of work offer many forms of bodywork, and i&#39ve never come across this in my studies or with any students or clients.

other things i have experienced lately or on occasion which may or may not be related are: chronic pain in the right groin & adductor area, pain under my left rib cage (spleen / lung area), occasional nerve/electrical pain impulses near scalenes & general neck area, generalized fatigue, foggy headedness, and many symptoms of IBD/ulcerative colitis/chrohns.

thanks for reading and educated or relative feedback is very welcome.

Hi, it's been 3 years ago that you last posted this. I would like to ask if you have finally discovered your condition. I have exactly the same symptoms as you, (Burping while painful spots are pressed, fatigue, pain in right groin, pain under lower left rib cage)

and no one, most especially medical doctors have any clue as to what this may be. Do you have any leads as to our condition?

I've been a body worker for 28 years now and have had a few people that belch while receiving massage and report that they feel so much better; however, the person I've experienced this the most with is my own mother. Since I'm her daughter, she doesn't feel embarrassed the way she would with someone else so she relaxes and belches a lot as I work on her. It's mostly when I do pressure point work that releases the most gas through belching. We both laugh because it makes no sense at all if you look at it through western medical references. How can gas coming up the esophagus be released while working on someone's upper body like the neck/shoulder? And yet I've witnessed this so many times that I've finally let go of the rational and embraced the irrational idea that somehow the belching and point-pushing are connected and the release of gas relieves muscle pain. As I've aged, I've even experienced this myself. I still find it funny after all these years. I think in TCM, they would have an explanation about how the body moves energy through it and that belching is simply releasing stagnant energy. Whatever the explanation, it's real, it's relieving, and it's not the craziest thing I've ever seen.

I definitely have the burping thing happening to me. I worked out way too often in my younger years and developed many extremely tight muscle knots. I’m a 49 year old male in good shape with a healthy diet. I have gone to everyone under the sun about the tightness in my muscles, some nerve twinge feelings from them in various areas of my body. The medical doctors all wanted to prescribe steroids or operate (scope) areas. No thanks. Physical therapist, massage therapists (rolfing included), Acupunture people all tried to relieve my symptoms, however nothing really stuck. Temporary relief and a lot of money spent. The only thing that helped was lots and lots of yoga together with foam rolling, or lying on top of lacrosse balls on my muscle knots. Slowly but surely this has been healing me. My son started standing on my muscle knots, within the last year, while reading his books and this really kick started the healing. However during and after the standing pressure, I started burping a lot. Sometimes for 10 minutes after. I will even get diarrhea and acid indigestion for a few days after sometimes. I follow this up with more yoga, vinyasa and yin type yoga poses at home for long periods of time. Usually while watching sports or educational videos. Everything seems to be rapidly healing. My posture is much better, my walking gate is much better, using the correct muscles now while walking, when I couldn’t before due to muscle knots and overall tightness. From my experience, the intense pressure massage and burping are directly related. I never/rarely burp otherwise or have the any other stomach issues. No professional type person seems to understand this phenomenon.
