Brief Answer:
Take activated charcoal tablets.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again,
Thanks for information,
All you need to do is to take some tablets of activated charcoal(over the counter).
Activated charcoal absorbs gas and air and hence would provide you with immediate relief.
Trapped air can cause chest pain and heaviness.
You would respond to activated charcoal tablets.
Take 2 tablets twice three times a day.
Tell me how you feel after a day.
Thanks
