does chest pain due to gas - #19160
I am dealing with this annoying issue lately. For the past few weeks, I’ve been having this weird chest pain that kinda feels like pressure or something, and I can’t shake this nagging worry. I mean, I’m not super out of shape or anything, but I’ve been stressed, and I’ve been eating a lot of spicy foods lately — not to mention a bit too much fizzy drinks. Now I’m wondering, does chest pain due to gas really happen? Like, is it a thing? I read somewhere that it could be indigestion or something simple, but then it hit me... should I be more concerned? I went to the doc after a night of feeling this tightness, and he kinda brushed it off saying it could be anxiety or just gas, but I keep second-guessing. I feel like I’m overthinking it but then again... does chest pain due to gas actually mimic something serious? I mean, I've felt this “pressure” in my chest along with some burping and that bloated feeling, but is that something I should really be worried about? Ugh, I don’t know! I just want to feel normal again, not spend my nights wondering if I need to run to the ER or just take a Tums. What do you guys think — does chest pain due to gas really happen, or am I just being paranoid?
