Suggest Treatment For Abdominal Bloating And Voice Hoarseness
Question: I have something in my upper abdomen area which has been growing larger making me feel bloated and now causing me some pain, on my left side. Recently I developed a throat dysfunction (hoarseness) that is not going away and am very fatigued. ??
Brief Answer:
Needs work up and management
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. This feeling of abdomen distension and growth and throat dysfunction and bloating are all due to gastric discomfort. Acid reflux, gastritis and age related bowel functions decline also called gastroparesis are the likely cause. Use of muscle relaxants and pain killers may have worsended it. You need some antacids and motility enhancing meds. Meanwhile work up on diet lifestyle adjustments. Small frequent meals, avoid dairy , fatty, spicy foods, chocolates, processed canned foods, tea, alcohol, coffee, beverages etc. Use more fiber and fluids. Delay lying down after meal for 2 hours at least. Keep head side of bed elevated for 8 inches at least. Do warm salt water and garlic water gargles for hoarseness.
Apart from gastric discomfort i would like you to get evaluated for thyroid hormones as well as this fatigue and hoarseness could be due to that. Talk to your local physician and let them run some labs to sort it out.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
