Question 1

what medicine i take to get rid from gas pain in ribs and back?

Accepted Answer

Evaluation needed : Sensation of gas and pressure in the chest and back may not be related to gas at all, e.g. cardiac pain may feel like gas. Best would be to be evaluated by your doctor ASAP.

Question 2

what can i do for extreme gas pain in upper back, chest, and shoulders?

Accepted Answer

Maybe it's not gas: A person with "extreme gas pain" in the upper back and chest may have something other than gas. If it is gas, then taking an over-the-counter antacid/anti-gas medication should help quickly. But what if it is a heart attack or an aneurysm of the aorta? Those can be fatal, so a person with such symptoms should see his doctor or get checked at the emergency room right away.

Question 3

3 months after c-section relly bad gas pain in chest and back and dizziness is this normal? how long do it take to totally recover to normal?

Accepted Answer

You should already: Be recovered, could be from your other medical problems please call your pcp as u need a workup for these problems which may not be related to the c-section.

Question 4

have gerd. gastric sleeve 2013. are at red lobster,20 min after got trapped gas pain in chest, back and throat. is it gerd? not had that food longtime

Accepted Answer

Careful chewing: After having esophageal or gastric surgery it is always important to fully chew your food.  Gas from seafood sounds rare.  You would not expect GERD from air being trapped.  However if you ate quickly and swallowed a lot of air you might feel the pain as you noted.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Go to ER: Severe abdominal pain requires immediate evaluation. Go to the er.

Question 6

Yes : The feeling of "gas pain". And bloating as you put it can  both be associated with various conditions affecting the GI tract.  I would encourage you to be seen if you don't improve.  Thanks.

Question 7

i have gas pain in right side under rib cage that started three days off and on. worse after i eat. relive after i burp but comes and goes.

Accepted Answer

Right sided rib pain: Could be gastritis for which you could try over the counter ranitidine  and or prevecid or could be gallbladder. Follow up with doc and consider ultrasound to check gallbladder.

Question 8

sharp pain to the right/kinda center in chest. it was there coming and going. not constant. not unbearable. then i burped and they stopped. then it started again and i burped and it stopped. doing it again now. could this just be gas pain?

Accepted Answer

: There are multiple possibilities for the cause of your discomfort. Because it seems to be related to burping, a reasonable 1st step would be to take a liquid antacid such as Mylanta or Tums. If the pain responds quickly, it is more likely to be due to acid reflux. If the pain persists or worsens, see your doctor or set up a primary medical consultation on healthtap. Good luck.

Question 9

tightness in chest and possible gas pain. what do you recommend?

Accepted Answer

Urgency: Need  to  be  in  e.R  and  let  them  listen  to  your  lungs   and  act  accordingly.  You  might  have  acidity  problem.   Need  workup  done.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: If the pain is from gas . You have to make sure you don't have kidney stones or urinary tract infection or cardiac or respiratory conditions causing the " chest pain." it could just be gas pain . Regardless, make appointment to see your doctor.
