How do you if it's gas or a heart problem?

Answer by  Bobinski (1652)

Heart problems are usually on the left side where the heart is located. Try thinking back on what you have eaten. Carbonated drinks, certain veggies, over-eating etc. can cause gas. Always remember.."When in doubt, check it out!" With heart problems you have sweating, hard to breathe, tightness in chest, discomfort between shoulder blades and indigestion or gas like pain.

In a woman a feeling of pressure or pain in the chest that spreads to the neck, jaw, or around to the back is probably cardiac related. In a man, the pain will be so bad you will be clutching your chest and gasping for breath, as well as sweating.

The symptoms for both can be very similiar. However you can try some over the counter meds to see if you get relief. If not see your Doctor.
