What Causes Uncomfortable And Swelling In Abdomen?

my upper abdomin is uncomfortable and feels distended. My liver enzymes are at 84 and I have not had any alcohol in almost two years (due to menopause hot flashes). I feel 6 months pregnant. Ultrasound tomorrow. I feel like I can't take deep breaths.

Hi! Good eveining. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Even though it might not be possible to opine on it without a physical examination, I think your doctor would like the ultrasonogist to rule out any pathology in your abdominal and pelvic organs, or any collection of fluid in the abdomen. Further management would depend on the result of a physical examination and related investigations. In case you feel much breathless, you should report to the ER of your nearest hospital.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.

Hello,
It is good that you are getting an ultrasound. From your elevated liver enzymes, it sounds like something is going on with your liver or gallbladder and this could be the cause of your abdominal distension. i hope the ultrasound gives you the answer to what is going on.
Regards
