Answer 1

If this is something that has just started in recent days, it will probably stop next week.  This is a condition called aerophagia, which is often always caused when a person is nervous or has apprehension about something - like starting a new school year, particularly if you are making a big leap like junior high to high school or high school to college.   The problem it thought to be one way that people subconsciously deal with stress.  If you catch yourself swallowing air, take a minute or two to reset your breathing by taking 3-4 very slooooow, relaxed breaths, and while you are doing this relax your muscles by starting with your head and think about each muscle group and relax it (jaws -> neck -> shoulders-> arms -> fingers, etc.. )as you work your way down to your toes. Practice this at home several times until you get it to work smoothly.  Good luck at school!
