Retrograde cricopharyngeal dysfunction (R-CPD) is a condition that impairs the ability to burp due to an overly tight cricopharyngeal muscle, which is located in the upper oesophageal sphincter. This rare condition can lead to discomfort from trapped gas, bloating, chest pain and social embarrassment.
