Common Questions and Answers about Gas causing severe discomfort

gas

Avatar n tn i m suffering from severe stomach gas problem.The gas level so much increases that many times it becomes difficult to breath.Even a small amount of spices(chilly) in food causes gas in few minits & belching starts. Please suggest which tests should i do? & the way to cure this problem?
Avatar n tn I avoided spicy foods and food that causes gas. I took Gas-Ex from time to time when the gas pain was severe. I took Pepto Bismol when I had diarrhea and cramping. I also took over the counter acid reducers for heartburn. My recommendation is to ask for a referral right away to a gynecologist and find out what other tests should be completed to further evaluate and treat the cyst.
Avatar n tn Are these signs of a heart attack or heart condition?? And if so, what should I do?
Avatar f tn t pass gas at all.I have had this problem now for a couple of years off and on and from mild to severe. Right now though, it's the worse I have ever seen it. It is causing me a lot of problems, discomfort and pain. The pain is up against or under my ribs and I often feel like I have a pinched side on both sides. Kind of like when you swim after eating. I can't even walk, really. Not normally, I waddle like a duck. Does anyone here have this same problem?
Avatar m tn After every meal I get gas discomfort and have difficulty burping. I also constantly feel weak, tired, and have difficulty concentrating. The issues are much worse whenever I try to do aerobic exercise, unless I can do it on a completely empty stomach, the gas pushes up into my chest and causes significant discomfort. Immediately when I jump in the water to swim, I feel the gas pushing upward (buoyancy). It causes such discomfort than I can't do these activities.
Avatar m tn Constipation or gas can cause quite some severe pain. Gas may build in the transverse colon and cause pain under the ribs. Gas can build in other parts of large and small intestine. Gas is caused by bacteria, especially when you feed them with sugars. She can try a low-fructose diet. If she has fructose malabsorption, the diet should help in 4 days. http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/21247?
Avatar f tn I took medication for reflux, but I got this abdominal discomfort (on and off) most of the time mild to severe (I still dont know the trigger) I mentioned it on my doctor, he said it wasnt normal but he didn’t see any problem as I have normal utz next week will be my follow up check up. I’m really stress on this feeling on my stomach.
Avatar m tn You could try drinking something carbonated which will cause you to burp and hopefully help you get rid of some of the gas causing you such anxiety. There are some OTC remedies like GasX you could try or talk with the pharmacist about his/her recommendations. If nothing works, you should see your doctor to figure out why you can't seem to expel the gas.
Avatar f tn I have recently been experiencing some discomfort in my abdomen area. Today, I began having severe occasional cramps that felt close to contractions. This was also accompanied by fever and chills. I am not pregnant, so I know it is not labor pains of any type. My doctor put me on an antibiotic and said come back in a week if it is not any better. Any ideas of what might be causing these pains?
1553173 tn?1358434089 After going to the bathroom, number 2. I was having severe cramps could not stand up straight. It was very painful so I laid down and it was like a stabbing pain on my left side. I tend to get constipated. Can severe cramps be associated with the flu? I have a fibroid on my uterus and cyst on my cervix. I am not sure if that has anything to do with it. The pain is still on the left side but has subsided a lot.
Avatar f tn I'm 13 wks. N from the start of this pregnancy I've had really bad gas. Does anyone know of anything I can use that's baby friendly.
Avatar m tn Also over the past few days it seems that every time I eat, no matter what it is or even if its very light or bland i get horrible upper GI gas and bloating. Now today, the discomfort in my upper abdomen and the upper GI gas is worse than usual. Again, the pain isnt severe or sharp. It feels some what broad. Sometimes in direct center of my upper abdomen, sometimes a bit left or right or across the entire area. Right now, its direct center and a bit more intense than it has been.
Avatar n tn Yes, of course abdominal pain is possible for a 14 year old. Usually the appendix is located on the right side, while the sigmoid colon is located on the left, but this arrangement is not absolutely true. Another possibility might be your left ovary. Maybe you have not started your periods yet, and this is simple cramping of an impending period. Abdominal pain is often very difficult to diagnose, but must not be ignored because some problems can move very fast to a life-threatening problem.
Avatar n tn two years ago I had a retinal detachment.dr. put the gas bubble in and next day did laser surgery. I have had severe pain in my eye since then. Dr. insists that the pain must be nerve damage. Nothing she can do. can you?
Avatar f tn hello~ i’m a otherwise healthy 20 year old female & honestly, i don’t have the best eating habits and literally rely on my metabolism which is not good & now i’m a little worried. i have discomfort in my lower abdomen and i feel like the pain is in a ball between my hips. legs hurt a little bit. this has been happening for more than 12 hours. i thought it would go away after some sleep but the discomfort is still here.
324372 tn?1222820202 The weight of your growing uterus may also press from time-to-time on a nerve, causing short-lived discomfort, pins and needles, and other odd sensations. What can I do about it? Avoid sudden, jerking movements. If you need to reach up, do so slowly and carefully. Warm up with gentle stretches before exercising. Try resting with a hot water bottle against the sore area, or take a warm, relaxing bath.
Avatar m tn Back in October I had a episode of sickness with bloated/gassy feeeling in gut/stomach which caused nausea/dizzyness, further eating caused severe bloating/gas (burping/flatulence) and I also had some anxiety (swallowing air) and a feeling of early fullness during eating. I took Motilium (domperidone) which got me back to normal. In december the same thing happened, but without vomitting /anxiety. This time it went away by itself.
Avatar m tn An alternative cardiologist listened to me describe my gas and burping and passing wind and said the gas was connected to the afib...that gas was pressing on the vagus nerve and causing the heart to misfire and beat too fast and out of rhythm. I took gas X and eventually the symptoms and the heart problems went away. This was six years ago. Now, the problem is back. I have had a cardioversion to get the heart back to sinus rhythm, but it didn't work.
Avatar n tn I am a 22 year old female. I moved abroad two years ago to begin University and since the move I have been suffering with gastric problems: mainly gas and nausea, some indigestion. In the first year of school my nausea was so bad I lost close to ten pounds because I stopped eating for fear that I would throw up. Mind you, I've only ever thrown up once in my life that I can recall.
Avatar f tn Every month I would be in pain another day prior to my period so by the time a year came I was cramping 2 weeks prior to my period and the pain became very severe. I went to my gp and had an exam and pap smear and everything was normal. I also had a pelvic ultrasound which was also normal. (Which was all done in May) In June I seen an ob/gyn and was put on seasonique.
Avatar f tn Or cause others to get gassy ? I’m noticing I’m causing that at work and my coworkers don’t like working with me. Anyone else experience that ?
Avatar m tn I have to sit and lay straight at all time or it just feels like it gets more twisted and causes more pain. I also have like cramps and gas in my lower stomach alot and recently my testicle has been hurting. im not sure if it has anything to do with this. I have seen urologist and they cant seem to find the problem, its causing alot of stress and is really getting to me now.
Avatar f tn I have been dealing with extremely severe symptoms of Dolichocolon for 2 years now, have seen many doctors who aren't familiar enough with the rare condition to treat it, can't find enough info online about it and am about at my breaking point in dealing with these symptoms because they are progressively getting much worse. I finally found a surgeon to see me on Oct. 11, who might be able to help, but if that is another dead end, I don't know what I will do.
915370 tn?1243161080 5 inches, that is where there is discomfort. To best describe the discomfort.... it is like having that sharp pain after bad hiccups... yet if gas leaves one of two entry ways (I burp or ...... eherm) then I feel slightly better, however even as I speak the pain persists. I am wondering if it is something of concern. -To note, I have had quite a few panic attacks (GAD, Depression) in the past 1.5 months, approximately one attack per 3 days.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am suffering from severe pain and discomfort in the chest for 7 years. When I got this for the first time, I thought I will die because of the gas coming up into my chest area and pain. I used to barp 500 to 1000 times a day. I was unable to breathe properly for 3 days. I went to so many hospitals and no one was able to find the exact problem.
Avatar n tn I recently underwent an endoscopy as a result of having to have an upper GI done due to severe constipation, gas and bloating. I asked the doctor to include an endoscopy (even though he didn't want to) and I am glad I did. The endoscopy resulted finding severe gastritis and positive results for H Pylori. Today it has been 6 days into a 10 day antiobiotic treatment (Tetracycline 250 mg and Clarithromycin 500 mgthe treatment along with Omeprazol twice a day.
Avatar m tn I have discomfort right below my belly button but no real pain. I also have alot of gas now and the gas and bowel movement smell very unpleasant. My anus also sometimes feels a little slimy even after cleaning it very thoroughly. My diet has been a little unconsistent during the 2 weeks as well.. but for the most part I try to eat healthy and get plenty of fibers and fruits and vegetables.
