David Roy, a 58-year-old high school...
David Roy, a 58-year-old high school history teacher, had always been a reserved man. For the past six months, he had been experiencing frequent, uncontrollable belching that was loud and often smelled of sulfur. It was disrupting his classes, making him the subject of student jokes, and causing him intense social anxiety. He had stopped going to his weekly book club and even dinners with friends. His primary care physician found nothing alarming but referred him to a gastroenterologist, Dr. Ellis, who suspected aerophagia (excessive air swallowing) potentially linked to anxiety or a minor esophageal motility issue. Dr. Ellis recommended a procedure called esophageal manometry to measure the pressure and coordination of his esophagus muscles. David was terrified of the thin tube being passed through his nose into his stomach. The procedure was uncomfortable and made him gag, but the nurse's calm coaching got him through it. The results showed mild dysmotility and confirmed significant aerophagia. Post-procedure, with a sore throat for a day, David began treatment: diaphragmatic breathing exercises to reduce air swallowing and a short course of motility medication. Within weeks, the belching reduced dramatically. The emotional relief was profound. He felt he had regained control and his dignity. He returned to his book club, able to laugh again without fear, feeling like himself for the first time in a year.
