Gastric Problem, Pain Below Heart, Feels Relief When Passes Gas. What It Could Be And Suggest Treatment?
Hey Doctor, For about 3 days in a row, my fiance has been waking up and his whole upper torso hurts. He feels a knot right below the area his heart would be. The pain only subsides after he passes gas orally or anally. We ve tried antacids and have found that is not the problem and it does not help. He only feels better after passing gasses and it is only happening in the mornings when he wakes up.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
From the look and feel of the symptoms, if you are correct with the descriptions, it seems that you have simple gastric reflux problems. This could be due to basic duodenal ulcers or the like which can be treated and cured completely. Consult a gastroenterologist.
For the time being have garlic along with food for three days and see the difference.
Good luck.
