Flatulence does not necessarily cause chest distress and shortness of breath.

Does flatulence cause chest tightness and shortness of breath?

The severity of flatulence varies. If it is mild, it may be manifested as mild abdominal distension and discomfort. The stomach gas does not reverse, generally does not affect breathing, and does not cause chest distress and shortness of breath. Some patients relieve flatulence by exercise, abdominal massage, etc., or discharge gas through farting, which generally does not cause other symptoms. If flatulence is serious, stomach gas inversion or flatulence is related to gastroesophageal reflux, gastric content reflux, can lead to chest tightness and shortness of breath.
