  5. I've been feeling like my chest is heavy because of excess gas. It happens every day no matter what I do, and whatever I eat seems to make it worse. Most of the time, I feel like there's a lot of gas trapped near my chest, and it makes me really uncomfortable. What can I do to get rid of this feeling?

You may be experiencing symptoms of excessive gas and bloating. To help relieve these symptoms, you can try taking Simethicone (Gas-X) 125mg tablets. You can take 1-2 tablets after meals and at bedtime as needed to help break up the gas bubbles in your digestive tract. Additionally, you can try avoiding foods that commonly cause gas such as beans, broccoli, cabbage, and carbonated drinks. Drinking peppermint tea or taking a probiotic supplement like Align can also help improve digestion and reduce gas. If your symptoms persist, it's best to consult with a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
