Ranchi. It is often seen that a condition like burning sensation and confusion arises in the chest, and sometimes chest pain is also felt while sleeping at night. Such people often suspect that they have a heart problem, but when they get it checked, it is found that they had gas problem and not heart problem. If you pay attention to some symptoms of your body, you will be able to easily differentiate between these two.
Doctor JK Mitra (HOD of Medicine Department and more than 35 years of experience) of RIMS, Ranchi, the capital of Jharkhand, told Local 18 that many times people have chest discomfort and they go to the cardiologist. This wastes both their time and money. It turns out that they had a gas problem. In such a situation, it is important to know what are the symptoms of both heart and gas problems.
Both have different symptoms
Dr. JK Mitra told that many times when people have a burning sensation or pain in the chest, they think that they have a heart problem. But this does not happen every time. When you have a gas problem, you will also see its effect on your stomach. You will feel full and bloated and will not feel like eating. Also, no matter how tasty the food is, no matter how much it is your favorite, you will not feel like eating. Due to gas, the stomach feels full, so you do not feel like eating at all and when this gas goes up a little, it causes burning sensation and discomfort in the chest.
These symptoms are seen in heart problem
If we talk about heart problems, you can see many types of symptoms. First of all, you will have trouble breathing. Especially at night when you go to sleep, you will feel as if you have to take a deep breath, but this does not happen in case of gas. Also, those who have heart problems will start panting if they walk a little distance. If they are asked to climb three or four floors, they will be in trouble. Apart from this, such people often have pain in the jaw and left shoulder and if they speak a little more, they will start panting. This kind of thing is not seen in gas problems.
Contact the doctor immediately
Dr. J’s friend said that if there is any burning sensation or discomfort in the chest due to any reason, then the person should immediately contact the doctor, because any discomfort in the chest can cause a big problem in the future. To keep the heart healthy, people should walk for at least one hour every day and consume as little oil and spices in their food as possible and practice yoga for 20 to 30 minutes every day.
