yes,gas trouble may cause weird sensations in stomach.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM,

I have read your query,

Gas trouble or stomach bloating might cause weird sensations in stomach or sometimes a person may feel a skipped beat because of that. However,it is not dangerous.

And for that, I would suggest you to take some symptomatic over the counter medications.

1) Take antacids tablets (like Tab.Pantoprazole 40mg or Tab.Rabiprazole 20mg) with Tab.Gas-X twice daily to get relief from the symptoms of gas trouble or bloating.

2) Take syrup Digene 2TSF if you have stomach burning sensations.

3) Take digestive enzymes like Unienzyme once daily which is available over the counter) will also be helpful in the digestion of carbohydrates and minimize the gas production and bloating.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Dr.Sandip Kabra
