What Causes Gas Pain In The Chest Along With Burping?
3 weeks ago I started going to a great chiropractor, shortly after, I started having trapped gas pains in upper chest but was having difficulty burping. It s gotten so painful & so often , I went to see a doctor. I notice I m not pooing per my intake of food nor passing gas. I took magnesium citrate , not much happened. The upper gas builds, pressure is unbearable but even with Zantac, nexium, gas x, no gas, alka sheltzer tablets I can t burp enough to get relief. My upper ephofageal sphincter will not release & I ache from the front of my chest thru to my back. I ve had H-pylori severely, many times but this feels different. Help

Hello,
It is due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
