trapped wind?

[JimmyJ]

Not really had this before but went to dentist yesterday and think I swallowed lots of air.

Have been a bit painful in the stomach area all day. Doesn't feel like any else I've really had like muscle or bruising pain.

Any thing I can do that would help. Been drinking a bit more tea and juice to try and help.

Wind can really cause some pain, warm drinks and pain killers are what I would try, if at all worried though please go and see doctor.

I think there is a product called windeze that you can get over the counter, (perhaps if you have a 24hour supermarket near you, you could get some tonight) Here is a bit of info:- www.nhs.uk/medicine-guides/pages/MedicineOverview.aspx?medicine=Wind-eze%20tablets

But if it persists then you need to see your doctor sooner rather than later.

I am sure it will have sorted itself out by tomorrow.

I agree with Mary. If it doesn't clear up after a couple of days go see the GP. Going to the dentist may just be a coincidence.

Urgh, trapped wind can be a nightmare! Peppermint cordial if you can get some, and the deflatine windeze tablets that someone said earlier can be a miracle! Oh, and whilst you're shopping, get a kite! (sorry, had to! they say laughter is the best medicine tho!)

Hope you feel better soon!

I'm never one to worry much. Nothing feels tender if I poke myself. But if I jiggle about I can feel it. Not sore but uncomfy. Bit like a stitch when you run as a child lol.

I did do a google earlier and trapped wind seemed the most likely. Might go to bed early and see if it goes overnight. Can't really go to shops to buy something until tomorrow anyway.

Started thinking I might of swallowed some tools or his watch.

Equally the funniest thing I have seen today.

Hope all is well by the morning.

Am no better today, cancelled a meeting i had to go to, feel alright if i sit still.

Going to have a lazy weekend and just lay about. Think my other option is head to some emergency walk in thing, Which i've never heard of or know where they are. I can eat and drink fine so thinking it might be a torn something or other, i'm really just guessing though.

Jimmy,
I was treated in hospital years ago for trapped wind - such awful pain. On hindsight i now know it wasn't trapped wind at all it was the start of my gall bladder rumbling!
Don't leave it if it carries on.

I get trapped wind from time to time and find if I roll around on the bed, letting wind gurgle up and down the intestine, slowly finding its way up or down to where it can be expelled or simply expand a bit and relieve the pressure, it works.
A good long fart is often the result.
