Im in my second trimester and the gas is unbearable, it gets stuck in my chest and feels so tight after eating. Sometimes I even get scared thinking what is this. What do u all do for relief?
My pregnancy app tracker recommended having cumin (jeera) water to ease the bloating and chest gas. Also, try tracking what foods trigger it so you can avoid them next time. It really works!
Oh god, I remember this chest pain, it was so terrible I actually cried thinking it was a heart issue. Having small, frequent meals instead of big ones really saved me. Hang in there, this phase will pass.
My doctor told me that pregnancy hormones slow down digestion, which causes gas to build up. She suggested sipping lukewarm water throughout the day and chewing on some fennel seeds (saunf) after eating. Avoid fried food completely.
I totally understand how painful and uncomfortable this feels, dear. Please try drinking a little warm ginger tea, it gently soothes the stomach. Take care of yourself.
Don't worry, chest gas is very common during this time. Try drinking some warm water and walk slowly inside the room for 10 minutes, it will help to release it. Avoid lying down immediately after eating.
