Yes, excessive gas can cause chest pains. Try to elevate your chest, do not lie flat. Taking over the counter medication that combats gas will help relieve this situation.

It is definitely possible. Several over the counter medications say that they help alleviate gas pains. Try some, and if those don't work out it might be a good idea to see a doctor. Chest pains can result from gas, but they can also result from more serious conditions like heartburn, so get them checked out.
