What do I need to know about having gas and chest pains from straining?

Answer by  JaneH (40)

The chest pain could be a result of the gas. The best thing you can do is meet with your doctor so that any heart problems can be ruled out. Your doctor can run tests to make sure your heart is healthy. If the problem is from gas then medication or a change in diet can be prescribed.

Straining may cause pain by putting pressure on your entire abdominal/chest area. Straining can make your heart slow down. Chest pain requires medical attention if it persists. Don't strain.
