Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
A swelling around your navel could be a hernia, lipoma or a cyst.I will suggest you see your Doctor for examination.Being bloated all the time may be linked to it if hernia and if abdominal viscera are in it.However, a possible digestive disorder should be eliminated.I will advise you see your Doctor for examination.A stool exam will be needed if your Doctor rules out a possible link between the swelling and digestive disorders.
Best regards
