A member asked:
Do you know if acidity and gas can be causing my chest discomfort or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely!: Acid reflux can cause pain or discomfort over the sub-sternal and epigastric area due to irritation and inflammation of the esophagus or the sphincter connecting the esophagus with the stomach. Gas and bloating can increase intra-gastric pressure, also causing chest discomfort. That is why sometimes, burping or belching can relieve that discomfort.
