Suggest Remedy For Extreme Stomach Bloating

I am having extreme stomach bloating. I look 6 months pregnant but am 56 years old! It doesn t matter what I eat, even water contributes to it. I am very active but obviously concerned. Sometimes I can feel nauseous, sweat profusely, and my heart will beat harder and faster. Overall the bloating is the most disturbing! The pain is sometimes centralized and other times more cramping/burning.Lower back hurts also. I m giving you way more info than I planned!Thank you for your time.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history of extreme stomach bloating, looking like 6 months pregnancy but you are 56 years old. Bloating is most disturbing and the pain is centralized and sometimes more cramping or burning. There is associated low back ache, nausea and profuse sweating.
The causes can be as follows:
Either gaseous distension or ascites or a mass in the abdomen.
This can be well diagnosed by ultrasonography and X-ray of the abdomen in standing position.
Clinical evaluation, and the tests of blood, urine and stool help further to get the correct diagnosis and plan a proper treatment.
If required further tests of Ct scan of the abdomen, enteroclysis and other tests as will be guided by the examination and preliminary reports.
