What Causes Abdominal Bloating With Shortness Of Breath?

I keep having stomach bloating to the point where it feels like I m breathing through the bottom of my stomach sometimes the shortness of breathe has me using my wife s inhaler. I do take one hydrocodone a day from a brain injury and thus I have constipation issues, however this acts like panic attacks as the attack can come and go, sometimes in minutes, some attacks longer. When the bloating subsides, breathing seems normal and comfortable.

Hello,

The issue of breathing difficulty with abdomen bloating and panic history indicate underlying stress and anxiety responsible for drive through epi and nor epinephrine release. My guidelines for better outcome:
- Deep breathing exercises
- Walking in fresh air
- Meditations and YOGA
- Supportive medication prescription as propranolol (beta blocker), alprazolam (anxiolytic) or else as per the choice of your doctor.

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