Re: Trapped wind in chest
Just a word of warning about peppermint tea - it's great (I love it!) but you shouldn't drink it on an empty stomach, only after food. It can relax the muscle between the stomach and esophagus, allowing stomach acids to flow back into the esophagus - making the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion worse. I couldn't work out why peppermint tea sometimes made me feel worse, but then I read this somewhere and it made sense!
