How to reduce gas pain?

While gas pain is very common, sometimes people mistake severe chest or heart pain for simple gas. If your pain is intense, radiating to your arm or jaw, or accompanied by sweating, please go to a hospital immediately. It is always better to get it checked by a professional rather than assuming it is just acidity.

Between work stress and poor sleep, my stomach is basically a gas factory. When the pain hits at midnight, I do the 'child's pose' yoga stretch on the bed—it's honestly the fastest, no-cost way to get relief. That, and promising myself I'll stop eating spicy street food at 11 PM, which I never follow.

Please don't ignore persistent gas pain. I kept taking antacids for months thinking it was just gastric trouble, but it turned out to be a severe stomach ulcer that required prolonged medical treatment. If you get this pain frequently, please consult a gastroenterologist instead of self-medicating.

I was reading up on this because I get bloated so easily after dinner. Apparently, drinking warm fennel (saunf) water right after eating helps relax the intestinal muscles and prevents gas build-up. I tried it last night and it actually seemed to make my stomach feel a lot lighter.
