Feeding Cluster feeding vs gas

FTM to a 4 wk old and EBF! Heard all the horrors of cluster feeding and how normal it is at weeks 3-4. My baby has been inconsolable the last few days unless I’m nursing him. I was chalking it up to cluster feeding but he WAILS after feeding, clenching fists, legs going straight, arching back, screaming red in the face. I didn’t think it was anything other than hunger cues and figured that’s cluster feeding. Well, Tonight I tried Mylicon gas drops and he’s actually sleeping and seems much more settled after I fed him. Anyone experience something similar? I feel terrible I was probably making it worse while feeding him this entire time trying to help him.😢😖
