YES! Especially after surgery, but gas can travel virtually anywhere in the body and cause pain. Some other causes of pain in the chest: heart problems (obviously), pleurisy (inflammation of the lining around the lungs), heartburn. Gas and pleuricy give sharp pain...a heart attack can as well. Heartburn is normally a dull, burning pain.
