I thought they digestive system is separated from the chest by the ailmentary canal and diaphragm
How does gas from intestines reach chest to cause pain near the heart?

It doesn’t, unless something is really really wrong.
First off, remember that a lot of your digestive system is actually like right up at the base of your rib cage, it is not all down by your belly button. And your esophagus runs down from your throat to your stomach obviously.
But say you’re having gas issues in your stomach/your intestines, that’s still inside your body. So if those organs are bloated with gas, they’re taking up more space, and when they take up more space other areas get less space and get squished. Hence gas/bloating making you feel all around crappy.
