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.
Suggest Treatment For Severe Abdominal Bloating And Breathing Difficulty
What could be causing severe bloating and difficulty breathing? PMH - had VP shunt 6 months ago which helped with headaches, has hiatal hernia, has asthma (taking Qvar and fast acting inhaler which are not helping lately), sleep apnea and uses machine. Also now starting to have a cough. Bloating worse after meals but can be bloated when not eating also. Bowel movements seem to be about the same.
First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, with all these premorbid conditions steroid overuse or due to drugs for these diseases side effects especially gastric may occur.
So motility agents like domperidone can be helpful alongside antacids like Omeprazole before meals may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
