I'm a 45-year-old woman having some trouble with gas and breathlessness. Whenever I get gas, my heart starts racing, I sweat a lot and feel cold, and I just can't breathe right. This can last up to 45 hours, and during this time, I'm stuck and can't move. It's only after I vomit and have to run to the bathroom 23 times that things settle down. But even after all that, my body hurts quite a bit. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Could you help me understand if these levels are okay?
