Any ideas of what could cause abnormal and excessive burping? Please read details for more information...?

Question

I have both abnormal and excesive burping, although I cannot define precisely what it is. Around four years ago (when I was 19 years old, I'm now 23) I stopped burping normally and developed some sort of "abormal burping". Instead of common burping, a weird sound is generated in my throat after a sensation and chest movement similar to hiccups, except it ends with this weird sound. This happens every 5 minutes or so (even when I'm not eating) and it's a bit bothersome. It's not painful, but it's definitely abnormal and since it started about four years ago I feel it's getting worse (more frequent) little by little. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Well, you should see a doctor. It could be anxiety neurosis. I am assuming that the burping is not due to digestion problems and flatulent food.
