What Causes Severe Abdominal Bloating When Diagnosed With Atrial Fibrillation?

With A-Fib diagnosis, would I feel a bloating in the abdomen or a stomach that feels extended? I went through all the heart tests, and all were OK, so I started blood thinners. But, I get this bloated feeling. I have just started the drug Eliquis.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain you have problem of abdominal bloating problem. More fatty food consumption and fast eating may cause abdominal bloating problem. Lactose intolerance or other food intolerance may ruled out. Infection of intestine cause severe abdominal bloating problem. Frequent use of chewing gum entrapment of air occurs. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis. Simethicone drug can be used for gas relief.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you. Let me know if I can assist you further.
