Suggest Treatment For Bloating Of Stomach And Breathlessness

I am feeling bloating of the stomach and breathlessness each evening since the past one week. Earlier too I suffered the same condition but doctors diagnosed it as due to acidity. I am a mild eater. I avoid heavy, spicy, fried meals and rarely feast. The evenings are the worst time of my day and relief comes when I sleep for the night to rise normally the next morning. However, as I take meals during the day, the same cycle starts. I am 43 yrs old female with normal weight.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history about a 43 year old female with normal weight and understood the concerns.
The commonest cause I can think of for the bloating developing after noon and lunch , setting with sleep to be normal in the morning is anxiety and stress causing aerophagia.
Another reasons can be something in lunch, the foods or beverages that have gas producing character and this can be diagnosed by keen observation only as to what is instigating or enhancing the problems and avoid these altogether..
Acidity does not cause bloating but stress and anxiety increase acidity and bloating hence it is of utmost importance to get a proper control over stress and anxiety.
On a safer side get an ultrasonography for Hepatobiliary diseases, X-ray of abdomen, tests of stool, blood and urine.
If these found a reason get specific treatment and if the reports are normal consider this as functional bowel disease and get treated accordingly, change the lifestyle to suit you the most.
