I am two years out and have had this a bit.

I am blaming my slipping back into having the odd coke or fizzy drink. I know better but I still have some and usually pay the price.

You may not drink these but if you do, it may be worth seeing if it’s related.

Hi Rasor - I have terrible problems with trapped air bubbles in chest area and have to free them a lot - but I’ve had it since surgery - with it being a new thing maybe best to let your specialist nurse know if it continues - all the best

I take "Windsettlers" which is Semeticone. Windeze is even better if you can get them, because the last thing you want to do when you have trapped wind is to swallow something, with Windeze you can suck them which I find relieves the symptons slowly and painlessly.
