A member asked:

What are these gas like pains in my chest every now and again?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unusual to: Have gas pains in chest, because your GI tract (except esophagus) should be in abdomen. It could be pain coming from heart, such as angina, or from lung such as pulmonary embolus, so you should see your doctor. These conditions are potentially serious, so get to a doctor for any chest pains.

Almost every morning for the past 1-2 months, I wake up with the feeling that I have to burp, like there's gas trapped in my chest/throat. Eventually I burp, but sometimes I have to force myself to do so. This isn't nausea, right?
