I'm dealing with some chest discomfort, and Ive been burping and farting a lot. Plus, I'm occasionally getting these sharp pains. Could this be something serious, or is it just gas causing these symptoms?

I'm a teenager and I've developed piles. Should I be worried about having them at this age? Do you think I need to see a doctor or are there any home remedies that might help me get better?
