I'm experiencing some pain in my left chest and left hand for the last couple of days, and it feels like it might be related to gas. Can you suggest any remedies or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or heartburn. To help relieve your symptoms, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg tablets. You can take 2 tablets as needed for relief of gastric symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.
