My wife has been sick to her stomach for a few days. Her abdomen seems very swollen. She is feels very full, making it difficult to breathe. Some nausea, She doesn't want to eat because it make her stomach hurt. Very concerned. She is 70, recently treated for bronchitis antibiotics and prednisone, also taking albuterol from a nebulizer or inhaler. Her abdomen is very swollen, looks like she did when pregnant many years ago. Any suggestions?

Hello,

Take her to the emergency room, as swollen abdomen is making breathing difficult, indicating urgent clinical evaluation, examination, and investigations like X-ray of abdomen and chest, ultrasonography, and tests of blood, urine, and stool.

This may be due to the intestinal obstruction which may need urgent surgical intervention, to release the problem and/or get further investigations like CT scan of abdomen, colonoscopy, and biopsy to know further diagnosis like ruling out colon cancer and get treated accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant
