Hello,
His symptoms are suggestive of an abdominal hernia. I would recommend wearing a corset to help reduce the hernia. Surgery may be needed, because sometimes abdominal organs get entrapped in the hernia and it may lead to a life-threatening condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
