I am burping to relieve the painful tightness in my lower-chest, this causes a tickly feeling in the throat, eventually I cough to relieve the tickly feeling, which causes a painful tightness in my lower chest.  
This cycle has been going on for the last 6 hours, and it is pissing me off!

Come on man, you didn’t really put any effort into that!

Go back, have a re-think, and then post the rant that it could have been. Make use of the words “fuck” and “goat”.

Class dismissed.

Hmmm…better. Permit me to attempt a rewrite using appropriately pithy Pit language:

“Fuck this!! I’ve spent the last 6 motherfucking hours burping my **ass** off to relieve this goddamn tension in my chest. Of course, this causes a fucking tickling in my damn throat which makes me cough like son of a bitch causing that fucking tension in my chest all the fuck over again! Shit!!! This is pissing me right the fuck off!! Arrrrrghhhh!!!”

How’s that?
