    hi, I would think it's the bloating.. I have been to the emergency room twice because of that and they sent me home twice : )

    But everybody is different so don't take me up on this. if you think you have a heart attack then better go to the ER..

    Hello,it's hard for any of us to say, but if your concern (tonight) is a growing concern call your local medical advice line (at most hospitals). They give free advice on a medical level that we cannot. But you do have our support.

    Best wishes

    Hi brandon987

    Recall what you have eaten this may be why you are so bloated it has caused lots of gas and made you bloat. Try 'Wind-eze' from the pharmacy that will release the trapped air and gas....
