What should I do if my chest and ribs are full of belching?

Belching with fullness in the chest and hypochondrium can be treated with Si Reverse San (四逆散) and Zuo Jin Wan (左金丸), Bao He Wan (保和丸) or Chai Hu Shuo Liver Pill (柴胡疏肝丸) under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. Fullness and belching (hiccups) in the chest and ribs may be caused by liver qi offending the stomach (liver qi not working well and affecting the function of the stomach), or by food accumulation (food that is poorly digested and stagnates in the stomach) that does not dissolve, or by liver qi stagnation (liver qi and blood not working well and emotional depression). 1. Liver-Qi offending the stomach: chest and epigastric fullness and pain at times, pain in the two hypochondriums, food retention, belching and vomiting of acid, thin yellow tongue coating, stringy pulse. Prescription: Sihui San combined with Zuo Jin Wan. Four Reversible San: Chai Hu, Paeonia lactiflora, Citrus aurantium dulcis (stir-fried), Glycyrrhiza glabra.

Food accumulation without dissolution: distension and pain in the epigastrium (abdomen), anorexia, belching or vomiting of sour food odor, irregular stools, thick and greasy moss, smooth pulse. Prescription: Baohe Pill: Hawthorn (charred), Semixia (prepared), Liuxinqu (fried), Poria, Lycopodium album (fried), Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, Forsythia, Malt (fried). 3. Stagnation of Liver-Qi: dystocia (pain in the area of coercion and ribs), vomiting and retching, abdominal pain and defecation, discomfort after defecation, accumulation of fluid, thin coating and stringy pulse. Prescription: Chai Hu Shuo Liver Pill: Poria cocos, fried Citrus aurantium dulcis, cardamom, white peony in wine, licorice, vinegared spice, Chen Pi, Platycodon grandiflorus, ginger and Hou Pu, fried hawthorn, antifungal, hexagrams (fried).
