I've got trapped wind in my chest and shoulder blade, it's quite painful, ive been taking home remedies for it (ginseng & lemon tea, rennies)
But is it normal to hurt to breath?
I feel like it's definitely wind.
I've only had it a few days.
Any advice please

Thanks islay, ill definitely give that a try :-)
It doesn't sound like wind to me......I don't know your age, past medical history or medication, but i would go to A&E this evening.
Now that is advice, from Sqad, that I would take note of Jonah. I was eager to say that it will not be "trapped wind" earlier. I did not post because I do not have the medical professional experience that Sqad has, but I do have the life experience.
The symptoms they describe is exactly the same as what I suffered after my operation and that was trapped wind.
If it is trapped wind I'd bolt a pint of soda water and burp like mad, but if Sqad says go to A&E, I'd go to A&E x
It sounds like what I had after my op as well, only that lasted about 12-15 hours and disappeared. The pain was incredible.
Possibly Heart in AF?

If it was me I would go to A&E to have any possible heart related problems checked out.

If you get the all clear - my mum used to go on about Gripe Water but I can't remember what direction it sends the wind. I used to get cramps in my stomach due to IBS and trapped wind - it is awful.
