Hard to burp

For the past 12 years I have had the feeling that I have to burp throughout the day.  Some days are worse than others.  This wouldnt be a problem if the burping was easy.  IT IS NOT!!!...the feeling to have to burp and not being able to creates a severe heaviness feeling in my chest and stomach.  I have been tested for several things....I have been put on acid reflux medicine.....did not work.  I have had two scopes and nothing was found.....any insight would be great.  When i do get the burp out...i feel normal again...but for a short period, until the sensation to burp comes back.

I don't know if you are still having this problem, but I have developed the same problem in the last 9 months.  It began after I started taking Prilosec.  I feel as if I have to burp, but can't and it is a very uncomfortable feeling.  Does anyone have any insight as to what is causing this and what I can do about it?
