A member asked:
Does pleural effusion cause excess gas and burping as well as chest pain?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually not,: But possible. What is more important is the cause of pleural effusion, which can be sign of serious condition such as infection or even malignancy. Consult your doctor at once.

No: A pleural effusion can cause symptoms based on volume. If large enough, the symptoms are shortness of breath or possibly chest pain. Excess gas is not one of the findings.
