Swallowing air

Hi all,

I tend to swallow air sometimes more than other times and that results in day long discomfort/pain. I don't use straws and try to pay attention to it but I guess today I swallowed too much trying to get my Water in so I have been struggling. I am almost a month post op.

Do you have any tricks for the relief?

Last time I had this happen it went away the next day, and I do take gas ex strips and they help temporarily just wondering if there are others like me.

I can only suggest to drink slower and sip your Water. Even when thirsty, since this may make us want to gulp our water.

I hope you feel better soon! :)

Thanks, I am usually drinking pretty slow, which makes it hard to get all my liquids in...so it's definitely a mystery to me... But will try to pay even more attention
