Help with Gastro-problem

I am a 28 year old female &  have severe gas trouble since last 8-9 years now.I also feel pain in my heart when the gas raises itself up the body , I usually have to press the upper left side of my stomach really hard to release the gas , when it releases I feel relieved.I also feel my heart pounding really tough so much so that I can hear its lub-dub , this happens usualy after my luch which is usually full but occasionally post dinner.I have not got any medical procedure done though few doctors have suggested colonoscopy but I have been avoiding it due to fear of pain & discomfort.I feel terrible now as after every meal comes subsequent heaviness & pain in the enite abdomen.I also panic a lot when the gas reaches upper left area of my body.

Can the doctor advise me on what do to now as I feel really depressed & hopeless!!

Go to a health store and ask for medication that is good for killing parasites.  I read that 50% of America has at least one type of parasite and they don't know it and it is often diagnosed as other things.  They can live in you and you wouldn't even know it.  I've had intestinal issues for about 6 years now.  I was on 4 different medications and I took stuff that was good to kill parasites and felt 10X better, but unfortunately I took it for a month and after a month of not taking it my symptoms came back so it didn't kill them completely and I am currently waiting on a parasitic diagnosis to get treated.  But it really does not hurt to try that.  It could really help you never know.
