A member asked:

Can air embolism be caused by gas in the stomach? i have bloating , and i get a sensation of air bubbles in my heart

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Blood vessels and : heart, are separate from the stomach and intestinal tract. Gas in the stomach will cause the bubbling sensation, but is not in the heart.

Agree with Dr. B: Gas in the stomach will not cause air embolism. We all have gas in the stomach and it is normal. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
