General & Family Physician,  's  Response
No, it is not simple gas problem. Chest pain in left side should not be avoided because it may be early myocardial infarction. But it is not necessary, some other reasons may possibly. I advise you to visit a hospital as soon as possible. Finally end with 'Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help". For Follow up questions, end with "If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish you good health".
