What Causes Excessive Weight Gain Along With Abdominal Bloating?

I had heart failure almost a year ago due to a medication I was taking. In the last 9 weeks I have gained 30 lbs. and look pregnant. I have a cough that isn t all the time. I also have pain where my feeding tube was. and I am tired a lot. along with feeling bloated and upper abdominal gain. I look six months pregnant and the weight gain is only there. my arms and legs are small. is it hormonal?

Hello,

As post cardiac failure, it is more tending towards people to put on some weight. The cough will be there for now. It will subside with medication and breathing exercises. Don't worry about the weight gain for now. Once your Cardiac profile is stable and you are allowed to be on normal few medications you can look out for diet plans and simple exercises to help improve the cardiac endurance and also weight loss. For now, you should recover with the cardiac profile that is of more importance.

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