Brief Answer:
If the episodes persist do consult your doctor

Detailed Answer:
Hi welcome to health care magic,
Advil/Tylenol is fine. But if the episodes persist, you need to consult your doctor for a condition called pulmonary embolism that will have to be ruled out.
If it is Gas and acidity you will improve. Otherwise do consult your doctor. It is better to be sure. An embolus is a tiny clot that can get stuck in the lung--pulmonary artery.
You can revert back--regards
