A 25-year-old woman in the United States who couldn’t stop burping has revealed her symptom was caused by undiagnosed, late-stage cancer.
According to People, Bailey McBreen from Florida started burping frequently – up to 10 times a day – in 2021. She put the symptom off for months, but she got checked when it progressed to acid reflux and “excruciating” stomach cramps. Ms McBreen revealed that she was eventually diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer, which came as a “huge shock” to her and her family.
“The first sign something was wrong – although I didn’t know it at the time – was when I began excessively burping,” Ms McBreen told NeedToKnow. “I would burp 5-10 times a day. This was not normal for me,” she added.
