What Causes Severe Bloating, Breathlessness, Burping, Puffy Eyes And Bruises On Body?

I suffer from severe bloating that causes my stomach to distend like I m ready to give birth. With that comes a slight shortness of breath and I want to not talk to anyone, which is difficult considering the work I do. I also burp all day long, from the time I wake until I go to sleep. If I wake in the night, I still find myself burping. I constantly have watery, tired eyes that tend to be puffy every morning. Sometimes I get these small, perfectly circular little bruises on my body that occur without any form of injury. What s wrong with me?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Bloating can be due to different possible causes such as: (1) GERD- this is a common cause
Even if reflux is not present, the use of reflux medication may help eg nexium, prilosec, prevacid

(2) constipation if present
(3)intolerance to certain foods or lactose intolerance
(4)use of gas producing foods such as cabbage, broccoli, turnips, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, beans, prunes
Avoid these foods may help as well

The watery eyes may be due to allergies or dry eyes. If they are itching, allergies are more likely and allergy drops may help.

The bruises may be due to injury to small underlying blood vessels. This can occur with inflammation of the blood vessels such as vasculitis, this would have to be checked by your doctor.

I hope this helps
