Can chest pain or angina pain cause 'gas' discomfort?

I know that 'gas' can cause similar chest pain like angina, but can it be the other way round - can angina pain or chest pain cause 'gas' in the chest region, shoulders and/or arms?

It doesn't necessarily go the other way around, the problem is that both pains come from the same area, and often times get confused.

Any chest pain should be thoroughly assesed, the older you get the more important that becomes.

Gas can cause discomfort, but it is usually located right in the middle of the chest, and doesn't travel anywhere (shoulders etc.) Chest pain from angina or a heart attack may or MAY NOT travel anywhere. If you are having chest pain that radiates to the shoulders or neck, get it checked. If you are having pain in the middle of the chest that DOES NOT radiate, get it checked.

In other words there is no way to differentiate between the two without lab work

No. But as you say, it can feel a lot like it.

it is the water build up around the heart that can cause angina
you can have "gas" discomfort feelings =when there is no gas coming out in burps though ,go to the Dr

idk i suffer from te same thing and i have had my gallbladder removed and i just got threw having a upper scope done and still no ansewrs and still feeling presuree on my chest and having headaches and numbness at times ??? so if you find out ,,letme know okay thanks ;0)

not really heard of it, but you can check out this site giving info about angina pain causes, signs and treatment....

Angina does not "cause" gas pain. However, for many the pain of angina is very similar to heartburn. Most people describe angina as a pressure or "crushing of the chest.

Here is two links that gives a good deal of information:

National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute -
