Can gas/indigestion give you chest pains???

I get chest pains. I have had a treadmill test and scan about 3 years ago and they found nothing, I have normal blood pressure, 110/80, normal pulse, 3 EKG's have been normal. I do get heartburn often. My doc says there's nothing wrong heartwise and kind of "dismisses" my chest pain because my past tests were fine. Do I need to get another series of tests, could the gas/indigestion/heartburn???? I know I could go see another doc but I'm looking for some personal experience opinions.

If I didn't know better it sounds as if I am asking this question. I also have had chest pains for several yrs now & have had thousands of dollars worth of tests done & all with the same result, "You're fine,nothing to worrie about, it's just stress" was the answer.I also have bad heartburn & acid reflux problems. I found that after taking over the counter meds that my chest pains subsided but unfortunately came back when I stoped taking them. Ive also done some reserch & learned that Hearburn & Acid Reflux can indeed cause chest pain.Try taking Zantac for a couple of weeks & see if that helps you're chest pains, in fact I think I will go get some too. Good luck.

YES IT CAN AND IT'S A PROVEN FACT!!!!!!!!!!

In my personal experience yes. You may or may not have a stomach ulcer. Go and see a different doctor.

Yes, yes, yes. I know it can I have had it. Gas can give you pain in places you never thought of. Having you thinking it is something else wrong. And Galbladder attacks can too.

It definitely could be heartburn/indigestion/gas. But it also could be your gall bladder, has it been checked? I would find a different internist to see you. I know some people who have thought they were having a heart attack and it turned out that their gall bladder had gone bad.

Yes it can, it can also cause a chronic cough. I have one, and the "acid blockers" work great , you should notice the irritation be gone in about a week.

Yes gas/indigestion can give you chest pains. Try an over the counter remedy of tums or they have some pills that fight indigestion. If you have frequent heartburn/indigestion tho you should consult a doctor regarding this because it could be a symptom of something that needs to be treated.

yes it can.. many people go the the ER for chest pains thinking they are having a heart attack and it turns it out it was just gas and indegestion. you may want to talk to your doctor about any meds he might recommend to help.. could be acid refulx

Yes it could be Gas. However it sounds like my Gallbladder attacks, didn't think they would ever figure out what was happening to me. Glad it is gone. go to another DR. Hope you feel better soon.

Hmmm i think u are having indigestion or heartburn. You should ask for medications from your doctor to stop this. The doctor you have seen is not so holistic. He should have given your a medication for indigestion/heartburn if your heart is ok.

I am not sure where you are taking about when you say chest. For me I used to complain of chest pain and my doctor also said it was nothing. I believed it was nothing, until my ex-husband at 33 died suddenly of a heart attack. I went back to the Dr. ended up seeing 3 different doctors. My chest pain was in the center at the base of my ribs, where the solo-plex is located. It turned out mine was food associated and was my gallbladder. Maybe a yr went by and it got so bad I thought for sure this was it I was dead, it honestly got so bad I blacked out I remember my husband putting me in the car and I woke up 2 days later with the gallbladder gone. I would always say get a second opinion ALWAYS. Ekgs are good but you should ask for an eco-cardiagram, just to be safe with that they can measure your heart and be sure all valves are working. Another thing if you go and they come back and say you have :microvalve insuffecency, and you are a woman, dont be alarmed. That term scared me into share panic, almost every single woman who has been pregnant has that, it is due to stress of pregnancy, and labor. Always get another opinion until you are satisfied and do it quickyly so you don't consume yourself with worry that leads to anxiety. If it is acid try a teaspoon of vinager. BTW had my gallbladder out in Oct 2006
