Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am small and my stomache is bloated all the way up to underneathe my breasts, it was small this morning, but i ate a lot today. A lot of junk food. I dont drink any soda so thats not the case. It is literally so full and rumbling so loud and i can hear everything passing through it. I have terrible gas. It is bigger than its ever been and it feels like its gonna explode. How can I help this? and could the food just be the problem? Is this normal?
Noted the history and understood the concerns. Since there is so much bloating and pain, rumbling that you are feeling that it will explode I would suggest you the following in such a situation: Rush to ER or nearby hospital. Clinical evaluation and examination. X-ray of abdomen in standing position alone can give indication about the cause such as Intestinal obstruction or so. You may need admission to the hospital, intravenous fluids and antibiotic. Nasograstric Ryle's tube to remove the stomach contents. Continuous observation so that the progress is known and surgery if needed be done. It may resolve on conservative management within a few day and if not resolved may need further investigations and surgery if needed. Do not try anything at home in such situations as the time lost can be the golden hours of management and avoiding further complications.
