Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Shortness Of Breath And Abdominal Bloating?
I am having constant problems with catching my breath and my stomach feels extremely bloated along with a minor headache about 7 hours a day. This has been going on now for roughly 3-4 days? I also noticed a bruise on my abdomen just to the left of my belly button, and I have no idea how I got the bruise
1. Feeling your stomach extended could be due to problems with your bowels (bloating). Problems you have with catching your breath are due to distended stomach causing pressure to diaphragm and nearby nerves.
2. You say to have noticed a bruise on your abdomen. It could be due to a recent trauma. Please send a photo to evaluate myself first.
That trauma might have caused problems with extended stomach if the symptoms appeared at the same time.
3. For the moment, until you see your doctor, I advise to: - take simethicone with carbon for the distended stomach - take antacids to stabilize stomach pH - take probiotics to stabilize intestinal flora
Wish fast recovery.
