I seem to get gas really easily these days. Whatever I eat or drink, I always seem to have a lot of gas. It all builds up,I feel like I'm full of mucus (sp), and I get a tightness in my chest. However, a few big burps and it goes away. However, I can't force the burps, and things like Gaviscon just don't help. Is it the way I eat? I don't eat that quickly. I have it now, and I have being slowly supping a mug of hot chocolate. Do you know anything that could help?
I just did a big burp just now, and it went, but I could do with some tips for the future.

if he gives you the all clear, maybe try something like alka seltzer - that'll help you burp.
you can buy things for wind relief, but i'm not sure if they're for upstairs wind or downstairs wind.
that's where a chat to a pharmacist would be useful.
I will find out alka seltzer. I couldn't care less which end the gas comes out, as long as it isn't stuck in my throat. :mad:
Thank you kaffrin.
i don't think it's indigestion.
i know the feeling you're describing - i get it a lot when i eat. mine is from a combination of swallowing too much air while i'm eating (an anxiety thing), and IBS.
i'd still see a doctor. sudden changes in your digestive system like that are something to check out. even if they say there's nothing wrong, they'll be able to tell you what's causing it, and how you can get rid.
