Hello, I Am A 33 Yr. Old Female . With

Hello, I am a 33 yr. Old female . With two children- one is 11yrs. And my youngest is almost 5yrs. Old in oct.
About 6 months ago I noticed after I moved (from what seemed one day to the next) a lump on my left lower abdomen. Which created a "muffin" like appearance. I had my appendix out when i was 8 and have a scar on the opposite side. Also, my gallbladder was removed when i was 20. However, I had never had this before....my clothes fit different and my stomach has been distended since. Sometimes with a appearance of me looking 6 months +pregnant . ???? I went to the doctor and I got told I had a small umbilical cord hernia and GERD. That there was a little fluid in my abdomen. I was given antibiotics which helped a little, but once i was off of them I felt the same then worse. I hardly eat , yet have all this bloating and now not only that one lower lump but one next to my belly button and another large bulge above my belly button. Sometimes making it difficult to breath. I have no energy but have tried to stay active . Normal tasks are hard for me . Like bending over and picking things up . Any thoughts ?
